[h2][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/hockey/anaheim-ducks-4CM4ojpD/toronto-maple-leafs-ShE7Z8G3/?mid=fcbgaZ1C"]Toronto Maple Leafs 6-4 Anaheim Ducks[/a][/h2][p]The [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/toronto-maple-leafs/ShE7Z8G3/"]Toronto Maple Leafs[/a]' dismal run is over, with their eight-game losing skid being snapped with a 6-4 defeat of the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/anaheim-ducks/4CM4ojpD/"]Anaheim Ducks[/a] at home. [/p][p]Things were not looking promising for the home team after the Ducks took a 2-1 lead into intermission despite conceding first. [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/gauthier-cutter/Aua8QuVu/"]Cutter Gauthier[/a] cancelled [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/maccelli-matias/fgJUYfMJ/"]Matias Maccelli[/a]'s opener before [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/moore-ian/4GJabtxE/"]Ian Moore[/a] gave the guests their first lead of the night.[/p][embed guid="25ec64d5-a46b-447e-b67d-e509fb7d12d5" url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExqiPVerAww&pp=ygUDbmhs" social-type="youtube" /][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/mintyukov-pavel/Sf9mPKPt/"]Pavel Mintyukov[/a] doubled Anaheim's lead almost three minutes after the restart as they had a two-goal cushion. That was when the Buds finally showed up, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/matthews-auston/zZVZlD9t/"]Auston Matthews[/a] and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/tavares-john/tCKT8ZmH/"]John Tavares[/a] netted to tie things up before the second intermission. Then, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/nylander-william/AJbnjbw2/"]William Nylander[/a] gave Toronto their second lead of the night moments into the third.[/p][p]They were not done there, as [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/groulx-benoit/v7WWECui/"]Benoit Groulx[/a] made it 5-3. [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/knies-matthew/OMACBf9g/"]Matthew Knies[/a] added a sixth via an empt netter to put the game beyond doubt. [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/killorn-alexander/88c96MCR/"]Alexander Killorn[/a]'s marker with 26 seconds left proved to be a consolation for the Ducks. [/p][p]The Leafs moved ahead of the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/new-jersey-devils/Kh0O591A/"]Devils[/a] after claiming just their 20th regular time win of the year. Anaheim stays fourth in the Western Conference despite the loss, which was their second in their last three games.[/p][h2][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/hockey/detroit-red-wings-dnJdmCF0/tampa-bay-lightning-YVE3zk1c/?mid=6uQlt6QF"]Tampa Bay Lightning 4-1 Detroit Red Wings[/a][/h2][p]The [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/tampa-bay-lightning/YVE3zk1c/"]Tampa Bay Lightning[/a] got back to winning ways by topping the visiting [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/detroit-red-wings/dnJdmCF0/"]Detroit Red Wings[/a] 4-1 in an Atlantic Division showdown.[/p][p]It took the Bolts until the second period before [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/guentzel-jake/Mq78JKxK/"]Jake Guentzel[/a] converted a power play 49 seconds in. That was the only goal of the first two periods as Tampa had the narrow advantage.[/p][embed guid="944c15c5-f7d0-48a0-8721-4ffb9d0399ce" url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcWnRrPl21A" social-type="youtube" /][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/goncalves-gage/rNDiEsYB/"]Gage Goncalves[/a] doubled the lead for the hosts 95 seconds into the third frame, before Detroit finally found the back of the net through J.T. Compher. That happened with 12:55 left in regulation, giving the Red Wings plenty of time to find a leveller.[/p][p]Unfortunately for them, that second goal never came. Instead, Goncalves and Guentzel scored one more each to complete the victory for the Lightning.[/p][p]Ending their two-game losing streak, Tampa are third in the East, two points behind their divisional leaders [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/buffalo-sabres/UobjtMIP/"]Buffalo Sabres[/a].
