EDMONTON, Alberta — Matias Maccelli scored twice and the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-2 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
Matthew Knies added a goal and an assist for Toronto (27-21-9). John Tavares scored his 20th of the season and Bobby McMann added an empty-netter.<\/p>\n
Anthony Stolarz stopped 34 of the 36 shots he faced for the Maple Leafs, including a diving stop on Leon Draisaitl that prevent the Edmonton from getting back into the game in the final minutes of the third period.<\/p>\n
Jake Walman and Kasperi Kapanen scored for the Oilers (28-20-9), who have lost two straight. Connor Ingram made 22 saves.<\/p>\n
Toronto was coming off a 4-2 victory over the Flames in Calgary on Monday, and heads into the Olympic break with a three-game winning streak.<\/p>\n
Kapanen tied the score at 2 early in the third period, but a pair of penalties proved to be Edmonton\u2019s undoing. Rookie winger Matthew Savoie was sent off for interference, and Mattias Janmark joined him seconds later on a high-sticking infraction. Maccelli scored just under a minute into Toronto\u2019s 5-on-3 advantage and Tavares swiped a shot in from the side of the net on the power play to give Toronto a 3-2 lead at the 7:42 mark of the third period.<\/p>\n
Toronto went 2 for 2 on the power play, while Edmonton failed to score on its only man-advantage chance of the game.<\/p>\n
Maple Leafs: Off for the Olympic break and at Tampa Bay on Feb. 25.<\/p>\n
Oilers: At Calgary on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
