Three Game Losing Streak!

Well it seams that so far Toskala is in a losing streak, as he just lost his third game in a row, to the Carolina Hurricanes. This can't possibly be good for his save percentage and his goals against average.

The game started off well, when 3:20 into the game, Tlusty scored for the Maple Leafs. The rest of the period was scoreless, which was a good sign for Toronto, and Toskala.

All was going well, until thirteen minutes into the second period when Gleason scored for the Hurricanes at 13:19, making the game a tie at 1-1. The rest of the second period was event less, other than a roughing penalty on Tucker.

The third period was going well, with the game still tied at 1-1, until 3:29 when Walker scored for the Hurricanes, making it 2-1 for the Canes, which wasn't good. The race was then on for the Maple Leafs to stay in the game. By the end the game seemed hopeless for Toronto, until Mats Sundin scored for Toronto, with twelve seconds left on the clock, forcing the game into overtime, as it was now tied 2-2.

Overtime started well, but then Antropov at 2:34 was called for hooking, causing Carolina to get a powerplay, which ended the game for Toronto. At 3:20, still on the powerplay, Brind'amour scored for the Hurricanes, ending the game. The game ended 3-2, and Antropov walked out of the arena with a game misconduct.

Toronto's next game is against the Ottawa Senators at 7:00PM ET, on February 2nd. Toronto will be playing on their ice, so get your tickets fast. You can watch the game on RDS, or CBC, or if you prefer to listen in, it will be aired on XM Satellite Radio station 207.
