Leafs top Coyotes to extend win streak

Jonathan Bernier stopped 39 shots as the Toronto Maple Leafs earned their first five-game winning streak in seven years by beating the Phoenix Coyotes 4-2 on Monday.

Phil Kessel had a goal and an assist to extend his points streak to six games for Toronto, which last won five straight from January 27-February 2007. Jake Gardiner and Nazem Kadri each had a goal and an assist, and Carl Gunnarsson scored his first goal in nearly a year.

The Maple Leafs have 20 goals during their winning streak.

The Coyotes sent a flurry of shots at Bernier after falling behind 3-0 and matched a team record by scoring a power-play goal in eight straight games when Mike Ribeiro scored early in the third period.

Antoine Vermette also scored a short-handed goal for Phoenix, which had numerous near-misses.

San Jose’s Joe Pavelski scored two goals to move into a tie for the second most in the NHL this season as the Sharks edged the Calgary Flames 3-2.

Pavelski scored off a deflection in the first period and on the power play in the second to give him five goals in his past two games and 18 in the past 20 to equal Anaheim’s Corey Perry with 27 for the season. Washington’s Alex Ovechkin has 35.

Tommy Wingels also scored and Antti Niemi made 21 saves for the Sharks.

Jiri Hudler and Kevin Westgarth scored for the Flames.
