TORONTO — The Toronto Maple Leafs remained undefeated on the road Saturday when they defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-0 Calgary Flames Hoodies Womens , but they still must learn how to win consistently at home.The Maple Leafs (9-5-0) will have another chance Tuesday night to take their road show home to the Scotiabank Arena, where they have struggled, when they play the Vegas Golden Knights (6-7-1).The Maple Leafs are 6-0-0 on the road but have lost four of their past five home games, including a 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Dallas Stars Thursday.Article continues below ...“I think there are some good things to take away (from Saturday) and we’re looking forward to getting home, it will be important to get some wins at home,” said Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly, who scored twice Saturday.” We feel good about how things have been going on the road, but it’s time we start to assert ourselves in our own building.”Maple Leafs goaltender Frederik Andersen stopped 31 shots to earn his first shutout this season and the 16th of his career. He is the first Maple Leafs goalie to earn a shutout against the Penguins since James Reimer on Feb. 1, 2012 and the first with a shutout in Pittsburgh since Mikael Tellqvist on March 19, 2006.“I thought we came out flying Calgary Flames Hats Womens , skating really well,” Andersen said. “We didn’t really allow them to have too much and we were talking about the first period being a key for us. … I thought we came out really good.”The Golden Knights, who reached the Stanley Cup final in their first season in the NHL, have been hit by the franchise version of the sophomore jinx in the early part of this season.They are, however, coming off a 3-0 home win over the Carolina Hurricanes Saturday that followed a team meeting called by coach Gerard Gallant on Friday.“We have to start playing our game,” Golden Knights defenseman Shea Theodore said before the win over Carolina. “We’re not playing the style that we would like. That’s something we have to get back to. … It’s one of those things that we have to take a step back, kind of re-evaluate the way we’re playing and kind of our team. I think it’s good, and I think we have to get back on the same page.”The Golden Knights had dropped four of five (1-3-1) before the meeting, including two in a row on the road — 4-1 to the Nashville Predators Tuesday and 5-3 to the St. Louis Blues Thursday.Vegas goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 35 shots Saturday to earn his second shutout of the season and the 50th of his career.Fleury said the meeting was a reminder of how the team must play. “(Gallant) didn’t go out there yelling at everybody Custom Calgary Flames Jerseys ,” Fleury said. “Just straightforward, just honest, just making sure we simplify our game. That’s how we’ve had success before. … We didn’t do anything fancy, but we played hard all game and it paid off.”“We played our game (Saturday),” Gallant said. “We’re trying to play a 60-minute game, and we’re trying to compete and battle hard and get back to the things that make us successful and I think (Saturday) we did that.”The game in Toronto is the opener of a four-game trip for the Golden Knights. Vegas left winger Max Pacioretty has missed the past four games with an upper-body injury and is expected to return during the trip, perhaps as early as Tuesday. He practiced with the team Monday in Toronto.“You try to take it one day at a time,” he said after practice Monday “I felt good today. I’ll talk to the trainers, I’ll talk to the coaches and see where it goes.”The Golden Knights will play the Montreal Canadiens Saturday in the third game of the trip.

We’re trying to catch some teams. We’ve got games in hand, which is nice Custom Chicago Blackhawks Jerseys , but those games are useless if you don’t win them.”Anton Khudobin stopped 25 shots for the Bruins, shut out for the first time since their second game of the season, a 4-0 loss to Colorado on Oct. 9. The Bruins are four points behind Atlantic Division leader Tampa Bay, with one game in hand on the Lightning.”Give them credit, their goaltender credit, but sometimes it bounces your way, sometimes it doesn’t,” Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said.The Panthers stretched their lead to 3-0 on a power-play goal by Trocheck with 5:53 left in the second period.

Backes didn’t agree with the call.”But it’s one of those things I can’t do anything about,” he said. ”I watched the rest of the game when I wished I could help my teammates win a game against a good team.”NOTES: Bruins D Zdeno Chara and LW Jake DeBrusk both missed the game with upper-body injuries sustained in Tuesday’s 6-4 win at Carolina. Boston recalled forward Anton Blidh and defenseman Paul Postma from Providence of the AHL. … Panthers D Alexander Petrovic was scratched with a lower-body injury. … C Frank Vatrano faced his former team for the first time since being traded from the Bruins to the Panthers on Feb. 22.UP NEXTBruins: Visit the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday.Panthers: Host the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday.—
