Leafs come home, stay on a roll by beating Flyers

-

Toronto (CP) — Colton Orr and Matt Frattin scored goals 28 seconds apart Monday as the Toronto Maple Leafs finally transferre­d their success on the road to home ice with a 5-2 triumph over the Philadelph­ia Flyers.

Dion Phaneuf, Clarke MacArthur and James van Riemsdyk, against his former team, had the other goals for Toronto (85-0), which picked up just its second victory in six outings at Air Canada Centre this season.

But the win did come at a cost. James Reimer stopped 12 shots before being replaced by Ben Scrivens early in the second period with what appeared to be a left leg injury. Reimer stayed down before being helped to the locker-room without putting any weight on his left leg.

The Leafs described the injury as a “lower-body injury.”

Scrivens finished with 32 saves, including 20 in the second period.

Wayne Simmonds and Tye McGinn scored for Philadelph­ia (5-7-1). Ilya Bryzgalov made 10 saves on 14 shots before being replaced by Brian Boucher after MacArthur’s goal at 6:15 of the second. Blue Jackets 6, Sharks 2 Columbus, Ohio (AP) — Brandon Dubinsky had a goal and an assist and the Columbus Blue Jackets had their biggest offensive output of the season against the NHL’s stingiest defence to beat San Jose.

James Wisniewski and Nikita Nikitin added goals, Cody Goloubef picked up his first NHL goal and Vinny Prospal and Mark Letestu tied a franchise record by scoring 8 seconds apart in the third period. Nick Foligno and Matt Calvert each had two assists.

Patrick Marleau and Joe Pavelski scored for the Sharks, who have lost five in a row after a 7-0 start.
