Matthew Tkachuk had a goal and two assists, Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 30 shots for his second shutout of the season, and Florida beat Los Angeles.

Against Minnesota, William Nylander provided Toronto’s lone goal. The defeat marked the team’s third straight regulation loss, a tough stretch before the Maple Leafs embark on a four-game Western Canada trip leading up to the 4 Nations Face-Off pause.

Tkachuk scored an empty-net goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Kings.

Pacioretty is projected to return to the Maple Leafs' lineup against the Wild while Knies could be back on Saturday against Edmonton.

Bobby McMann — who made his debut on the top line — had the lone goal for the Leafs as Toronto fell short 2-1 to Ottawa.

Following a well-attended Tuesday morning practice in Toronto, Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube provided an exciting update on John Tavares and Matthew Knies.

Matthew Knies was injured last week against Columbus after bumping into a linesman, and now there's a timeline for his return according to Darren Dreger.

Shane Pinto scored the tiebreaking goal midway through the third period and the Ottawa Senators beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1.

Pinto scored his ninth of the season after Matthew Highmore’s pass deflected off Pinto’s knee to give Ottawa (24-20-4) a 2-1 lead with 9:13 remaining in regulation. Both Joseph Woll, with 22 saves, and Anton Forsberg, with 27, were solid, especially the Ottawa netminder in the dying minutes of the third.
