TORONTO (AP) Curtis McElhinney was doing the usual work of a backup goalie at the end of the Toronto Maple Leafs‘ bench midway through the second period. Moments later – and to almost everyone’s surprise – he was in the middle of the action.”I’m sitting there (charting) faceoffs Erik Condra Jersey Womens ,” McElhinney said. ”Next thing you know they’re handing my gloves to me.”McElhinney stopped 13 of 15 shots in relief of injured starter Frederik Andersen – including a couple while his team was a killing a penalty in overtime – before Mitch Marner scored the winner in the shootout as Toronto extended its franchise-record home winning streak to 11 games with a 6-5 victory over the Dallas Stars on Wednesday night.”The heart rate spikes,” McElhinney said of getting called on without any warning. ”It certainly goes up and the adrenaline starts pumping. … Once the first shot’s taken you kind of settle in.”Marner beat Kari Lehtonen in the third round of the shootout, completing Toronto’s comebacks from 4-2 and 5-4 deficits in the third period.James van Riemsdyk had his third career hat trick, and Nazem Kadri and Patrick Marleau also scored in regulation for the Maple Leafs.Andersen allowed three goals on 20 shots before leaving with an upper-body injury. He skated to the bench during a television timeout with 9:35 left in the second and headed straight to the locker room. There was no obvious sign he was hurt, but coach Mike Babcock didn’t seem overly concerned afterwards.McElhinney came on and helped Toronto improve to 3-2-2 overall since star center Auston Matthews went down with a shoulder injury on Feb. 22. Tyler Bozak, who also scored in the shootout, and Marner each added two assists to keep the Maple Leafs perfect at home since losing to Colorado on Jan. 22.Tyler Seguin had a goal and two assists, Benn added a goal and an assist, and Radek Faksa, Remi Elie and Brett Ritchie also scored in regulation for Dallas. Lehtonen made 26 stops through overtime.”We came back and won the hockey game about three times, but we ran out of gas,” Dallas coach Ken Hitchcock said. ”It’s tough. I felt for the players.”After the Leafs stormed back with two goals in the third to tie it 4-4, Ritchie took a feed from Seguin and beat McElhinney with 6:42 remaining for his sixth goal of the season.However, Marleau tied it with 15.3 seconds left in regulation when he tipped home Marner’s shot for his 22nd to send the game to overtime.Trailing by two after jumping out to an early 2-0 lead Carl Soderberg Jersey , the Maple Leafs pulled to 4-3 at 5:13 of the third when van Riemsdyk softly flipped his second of the night into the roof of Lehtonen’s net.Toronto got the game’s first power play with about 10 minutes left in regulation, and van Riemsdyk scored his third goal of the night, and team-leading 29th of the season, at 10:43 off a hard pass from Marner.Van Riemsdyk’s three goals moved him past Matthews, who missed his 17th game of the season due to injury, for the team lead.Trailing 2-0, the Stars got on the board with the teams playing 4-on-4 with 5 1/2 minutes left in the first when Seguin beat Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly to a puck in the corner off a faceoff and fed Benn, who got his 25th.Dallas tied it 1:32 later when Greg Pateryn blasted a shot from the point that ticked off Faksa in front for his 14th.The Stars came out flying to start the second – outshooting Toronto 9-1 – before Seguin gave his team its first lead at 4:30 for with his 37th.Andersen left the crease during a television timeout with 9:35 left in the second and went straight to the locker room.Dallas pushed its lead to 4-2 at with just under six minutes left in the middle period when Elie scored his sixth off a nice no-look feed from Devin Shore.While the Maple Leafs are all but assured of finishing as the No. 3 seed in the Atlantic Division with the playoffs less than a month away, the Stars find themselves in a battle for a postseason spot in the tight Western Conference standings.Toronto opened the scoring at 4:28 of the first when Kadri took advantage of Lehtonen’s miscue in front to tap home his 27th.The crowd at Air Canada Centre barely had a chance to get back in their seats before van Riemsdyk made it 2-0 just 25 seconds later when he banged in a rebound – also his 27th – off a scramble in front.NOTES: Maple Leafs forward Andreas Johnsson made his NHL debut. … Prior to the recent four-game slide, Toronto had won 14 wins in 17. … Toronto D Nikita Zaitsev sat out for a second consecutive game with the flu. … Stars D Marc Methot suffered a hand injury against Montreal and didn’t dress. … Dallas No. 1 goalie Ben Bishop missed his fifth straight outing with a lower-body injury.UP NEXTStars: At Ottawa on Friday night.Maple Leafs: At Buffalo on Thursday night. NEWARK, N.J. (AP) Even when they don’t play their best, the Boston Bruins are still getting it done on the road.Adam McQuaid got his first goal of the season with 8:05 to play, and the Bruins extended their road point-scoring streak to 13 games with a 5-3 victory over the slumping New Jersey Devils on Sunday night.”We’re trying to dictate the play early,” said Boston defenseman Torey Krug Gabriel Landeskog Jersey Kids , who scored twice. ”Don’t let the other team use their home-ice advantage, just make sure we’re skating and going and have them react to us. I think every game we’ve given ourselves a chance to win the game going into the third period. We were ugly the first two, but got the job done in the third.”Boston is 11-0-2 in its current road run and 16-5-4 away from TD Garden overall.Tim Schaller also scored a goal that the Devils were not convinced crossed the goal line despite a review, and Patrice Bergeron added an empty-netter as the Bruins improved to 19-2-4 in their last 25 games. Boston also killed off all seven New Jersey power plays, scored an extra-man goal and got two short-handed in sweeping the three-game season series.”We’re getting production up and down the lineup,” Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said. ”If they shut down our top guys then someone else contributes. That’s a hallmark of our group, they like to pick each other up and know they don’t have to be the best player every night.”Backup goalie Anton Khudobin stopped a first-period penalty shot and finished with 35 saves as Boston avoided consecutive losses in regulation for what would have been the third time this season.Miles Wood, Taylor Hall and Kyle Palmieri scored for the Devils, who have lost four straight and eight of 11. Eddie Lack, who was acquired in a trade with Calgary in late December, made 22 saves in his first start for New Jersey.”Our power play was the difference tonight,” Hall said. ”They got one and we gave up a couple on the other end. Like I said, it was one of those nights. We were trying. The effort was there, 5 on 5 http://www.officialavalanche.com/authentic-adidas-j.t.-compher-jersey , I thought we had them for sure. Our power play could not execute.”McQuaid, who returned to the lineup on Jan. 17 after missing 36 games with a broken right leg, snapped a 3-all tie with a shot from the right point that deflected off the stick of Devils forward Drew Stafford and bounced past Lack.”He battles so hard for us, does little things, blocks shots, and make hits,” Krug said of McQuaid. ”For him to get that one and play with confidence was great. It’s nice to see him get rewarded.”It was the first game between the teams since Brad Marchand was suspended for five games for elbowing New Jersey’s Marcus Johansson in the head in Boston on Jan. 23. Marchand was booed every time he touched the puck.There was a scrum after Bergeron scored with 39 seconds to play. Marchand was knocked down by Damon Severson before the goal.Boston took leads of 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 in the first two periods. The Devils responded every time, with Palmieri tying it at 3 by beating Khudobin in close after taking a nice pass from Hall.The Bruins’ first two goals were a little bizarre. Krug got his first when Nico Hischier tried to clear a puck in the crease and slid it under Lack, who was playing in his sixth NHL game this season.Wood came out of the penalty box and tied the game with a breakaway goal at 16:32, but Schaller got the lead back for Boston with a stuff at the corner of the net with three seconds left after Hall could not handle a Lack pass.Hall made up for the mistake 31 seconds into the second period after Hischier intercepted a Marchand pass.Krug got his 10th of the season with a point shot three seconds after Stafford was called for elbowing.NOTES: Bruins RW Noel Acciari returned to the lineup after missing seven games with a lower-body injury. … Devils D John Moore was a healthy scratch after playing in the opening 54 games. … Bruins C Ryan Spooner got his 100th career assist on Krug’s second goal. … Boston is 16-5-4 on the road this season and 23-5-6 against Eastern Conference teams.UP NEXTBruins: Host Calgary on Tuesday.Devils: At Philadelphia on Tuesday.—
