TORONTO — Phil Kessel scored two of Toronto's four third-period goals and the Maple Leafs beat Anaheim 6-2 for their sixth straight victory Tuesday night, snapping the Ducks' eight-game winning streak.
David Booth scored his first of the season unassisted at 4:37 of the third before Nazem Kadri got his ninth at 5:28 to put Toronto ahead 4-1. Anaheim starter Frederik Andersen was replaced by backup Ilya Bryzgalov following Kadri's goal.
Maple Leafs goalie Jonathan Bernier was instrumental as Toronto handed the Ducks their first loss in eight games this month. Anaheim outshot the Maple Leafs 42-27.
Ryan Kesler pulled Anaheim to 4-2 with his 11th of the season at 8:35. Kessel cemented the win on the power play at 15:23 before scoring his 17th goal at 18:17.
Tyler Bozak and Joffrey Lupul also scored for Toronto, which improved to 14-7 at home and 10-1-1 since being manhandled 9-2 by visiting Nashville almost a month ago.
Sami Vatanen had the other goal for Anaheim, which fell to 11-4-2 on the road.
Anaheim outshot Toronto 17-11 in the first and had the only two power-play chances in the period but the Leafs got the lone goal. Bozak scored his 12th of the season at 15:12, poking a loose puck in front past Andersen.
Anaheim held a 14-5 advantage in shots on goal in the second, but still trailed 2-1. Lupul put Toronto ahead 2-0 at 1:31 with his seventh of the season, his innocent-looking one-timer from near the boards eluding Andersen.
