The Leafs had done just that against the New Jersey Devils, pushing a team desperately jockeying for post-season position through overtime and into a shootout. Toronto prevailed, powered by goals from Kessel, Nikolai Kulemin and John Mitchell on the way to a 2-1 home victory.
It was the team's fifth win in six games. The Leafs still had a firm grasp of last place in the Eastern Conference standings as they left the Air Canada Centre Thursday night, but could threaten to catch the Carolina Hurricanes if they maintain their winning ways through their remaining 11 games.
