Maple Leafs net 5 special teams goals, halt Avalanche's winning streak
The Toronto Maple Leafs continue to play some impressive hockey in November.
James Reimer made 34 saves, while the Leafs scored four power-play goals on five attempts in a dominant 5-1 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old Reimer saw his winning streak extended to four games, and he now boasts a solid 6-2-3 record with an impressive 2.19 GAA, and .930 save percentage.
Leo Komarov opened the scoring with a shorthanded goal in the first period ahead of the four power-play tallies, none of which were prettier than a nifty tic-tac-toe play from Peter Holland, Brad Boyes, and Tyler Bozak.
P.A. Parenteau scored a pair of markers against his former team, while James van Riemsdyk added his seventh goal of the year late in the third period.
Erik Johnson scored the lone goal for the Avalanche, who saw their three-game winning streak come to an end. They'll look to get back on track against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday.
Toronto will try to build on its 5-2-2 record in November when they hit the road to face the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday.
