Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Just missed: The puck seems to be hitting Robbie Ftorek in the mouth but it's just caroming over the top of the net after being deflected by Toronto's new goaltender Jim Rutherford. Defenceman Robert Picard seems interested in the path of the puck, too. Rutherford helped Leafs end seven-game winless string.
