"The Toronto Maple Leafs found life in western Canada, winning three straight games on the road trip to pull themselves within five points of the Boston Bruins for the Eastern Conference's final Wild Card spot. The Maple Leafs defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-2 on Tuesday night, putting together a strong effort against an Oilers team that has gone to the past two Stanley Cup Finals."
"For the second straight night, the Maple Leafs had a strong goaltending performance. Tuesday night was Anthony Stolarz's turn, stopping 34-of-36 shots to pick up his seventh win of the season. For much of the game, Stolarz gave the Maple Leafs an opportunity to be able to get that lead and build on it. "It could have been a different game, obviously, if Stolarz didn't make all those great saves," Maccelli said. "He played lights out tonight.""
