Losing streaks, you dont want them to linger and that one was lingering long enough for us, coach Randy Carlyle said. It was the best Christmas present we could have given ourselves. The Maple Leafs, currently in the first wild-card spot and fourth in the Atlantic Division, earned a season-best six consecutive wins before their recent skid and had won 10 of 12 but played just two road contests. Theyll play only four home games between now and Feb. 7. Its going to get tougher. Its not going to get easier. We know that, Carlyle said. The Panthers won three of four over Toronto last season, including both home games, after enduring a three-game sweep in 2012-13. Their 14 goals against the Maple Leafs were their most versus any opponent last season. Nick Bjugstad scored a team-best three times in last season series, and Sean Bergenheim paced the Panthers with five points (two goals, three assists). Bergenheim has five goals and four assists in his last seven matchups with Toronto and a team-best five points (one goal, four assists) in the last six games. Bjugstad, meanwhile, has no points in a season high-tying five consecutive contests. Torontos Tyler Bozak has three goals and three assists in his last six games against Florida, but could face Luongo, who is 10-1-0 with a 2.02 goals-against average in his past 12 matchups with the Maple Leafs. The Panthers will try to add to that and a six-game point streak on their own ice in their return Sunday. It looked like Floridas streak at home might prove brief when Eastern Conference-leading Pittsburgh rallied from a two-goal deficit in the final five minutes of regulation Monday. Instead, the Panthers (15-9-8) came away with a 4-3 victory after a seven-round shootout, with Roberto Luongo stopping every Penguins attempt and Aleksander Barkov netting the lone goal in the extra session. Theres confidence in the room now, said forward Jimmy Hayes, who had a pair of goals. Weve proved that were a good team. Were right on that playoff pile so weve got to continue to get points and keep winning. Florida, 4-1-1 in its last six overall and 10th in the East, now seeks its first four-game home win streak since a franchise record-tying five-game run March 4-17, 2012. The Panthers are 5-0-1 in their last six home games and will face a Toronto team that avoided a season-high fourth consecutive loss before the break.

Martes hit capped a three-run fourth, with two of the runs unearned due to a fielding error by third baseman David Freese. Miller gave up two homers for the fourth time and has lost all of those starts, twice against Pittsburgh. In six innings, he gave up five runs, three earned, on eight hits. Liriano retired the side in order six times, twice with the help of double plays. A third double play helped him escape without damage in the second when the Cardinals got two of their hits. In the three starts prior to his clunker at Colorado, Liriano allowed one earned run over 21 2-3 innings in winning three straight starts. The Cardinals are 3-6 with one game to go on a 10-game homestand that began with series losses to the Cubs and Dodgers.
