James van Riemsdyk is on some kind of roll.

The Toronto Maple Leafs forward scored two goals in a span of exactly three minutes against the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday, one night after potting a hat trick in a win over the Dallas Stars.

He threw one in off Sabres goaltender Robin Lehner from below the goal line to open the scoring Thursday night.

One hundred and eighty seconds later, he ripped a wrist shot past Lehner to set a new career high with his 31st goal of the season.

The 28-year-old winger is a pending unrestricted free agent.
