TORONTO took top spot in the Northeast division with a 5-2 victory over Anaheim on Sunday that sent the Ducks to their longest losing streak in six years.
Tyler Bozak scored twice as the Maple Leafs added to Anaheim's misery by handing the Ducks their seventh loss in a row and their 13th in 14 games.
Anaheim (6-13-4) has not endured a stretch this bad since 2005 when it lost eight in a row. Toronto (14-8-2) notched a third consecutive win to move a point ahead of Boston for the division lead and finished its four-game road trip 3-1.
"Obviously it's a big trip for us, and it's nice to have three big wins," Toronto's Joffrey Lupul told reporters after finishing with two assists against his former team. "It's been a lot of travel, kind of all the way down the south coast swing. We were strong all the way through the third period, so that's a good sign."
After Anaheim took a 1-0 lead in the first period through Francois Beauchemin, Toronto fired back with four unanswered goals, Bozak and Clarke MacArthur converting before the end of the first.
Joey Crabb's tip-in early in the second period put the Maple Leafs up 3-1 and Bozak added his second of the game less than a minute into the third.
