The Toronto Maple Leafs broke out offensively last time out on the ice. The Colorado Avalanche didnt exactly light up the scoreboard on Monday night, but got enough to secure their first victory of the season. The two clubs square off tonight, with each looking for a second straight victory. Watch all the action unfold live on TSN4 at 7pm et/4pm pt. The Maple Leafs scored five times in losing their first two games of the season to Montreal and Pittsburgh, but put together a five-goal second period on Sunday in a 6-3 win over the New York Rangers. Phil Kessel scored a goal and had two assists, while Cody Franson, James van Riemsdyk and Tyler Bozak all finished with a goal and an assist. They had more opportunities with the puck, Leafs coach Randy Carlyle said of his club. We didnt have many turnovers in the first 10 minutes. We drew some penalties and the power play clicked. Those things went in our favor. James Reimer allowed two goals on 26 shots, but left in the third period after a collision with New York forward Dominic Moore. Jonathan Bernier allowed one goal on 12 shots in relief. Reimer was able to practice on Monday and said he felt fine afterwards. He will get the start in goal this evening. Reimer is 2-1-0 with a 2.65 goals against average and .910 save percentage in his career versus the Avs. Coach Carlyle wouldnt say if defenceman Jake Gardiner would return to the lineup after being scratched in New York, but he did have a simple message if he did get back in. Play better, said Carlyle. Colorados offensive struggles were even more pronounced, with the club opening the season with consecutive shutout losses to the Minnesota Wild. The Avalanche then failed to light the lamp in the first period of last nights game versus Boston before seeing their scoreless streak snapped a 143 minutes and 28 seconds on Jamie McGinns second-period tally. Colorado didnt get anything offensively after that until Danny Briere pumped home a rebound goal with just four-tenths of a second left in regulation for a 2-1 win. It was Brieres 300th career tally and first with Colorado. The work ethic was back. When you play that way, its just a matter of time before you get rewarded, Briere said. Its certainly a good feeling to find a loose puck like that late in the game and get a big win, especially after the start that we had. Reto Berra stopped 27-of-28 shots in his Colorado starting debut, while Avs forward Jarome Iginla made his return to Boston and was held without a shot on goal in 17:17 of ice time. Despite Berra getting the win, Semyon Varlamov is expected to start this game for Colorado. He is 2-1-1 in his career versus the Maple Leafs with a 2.60 GAA and .917 save percentage. The Avs and Leafs split a pair of meetings last season, with each team winning on the road. Colorado has won four straight in Toronto, where it has not lost since March 20, 2004.

PHILADELPHIA -- All that extra batting practice paid off for Wilmer Flores. Flores hit a grand slam and drove in a career-high six runs, Bartolo Colon threw seven-plus sharp innings and the New York Mets beat the Philadelphia Phillies 11-2 Monday night in a makeup from an April rainout. "It felt good," Flores said. "Been struggling the last couple games, and I didnt feel good my first two at-bats, but as the game was going I made the adjustment, so I put a good swing on it. I havent been playing that much, so Ive just been taking extra batting practice. That helped." After playing 39 innings in the three previous games, the teams finally didnt go extras. The Mets took four of five from the Phillies and are 9-1 in Citizens Bank Park, dating to last season. Colon (5-5) allowed two runs and six hits to win his third straight decision. The 41-year-old righty has a 1.61 ERA in his last three outings. "He knows when he has to put a little something on it," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "Hes the master of taking stuff, taking speed off the ball, getting it to sink, getting it to move. When he needs it, theres still plenty there." The last-place Phillies went 4-7 on a season-long 11-game homestand. Theyre a season-worst seven games under .500 and barely resemble the team that won five consecutive NL East titles from 2007-11. "We didnt play that well this homestand," Chase Utley said. "Nothing we can do about it now. We have to go on the road and win games." Roberto Hernandez (2-3) failed to pitch six innings for the sixth time in 10 starts. He allowed five runs -- four earned -- and five hits in 5 1-3 innings. Bobby Abreu and Lucas Duda hit consecutive doubles in the second to give the Mets a 1-0 lead. The Mets chased Hernandez in the sixth. Matt den Dekker and Daniel Murphy hit consecutive singles to start the inning. David Wright drove theem both in with a shot off the wall in centre.dddddddddddd After a one-out walk to Abreu, Hernandez was replaced by Mario Hollands. Duda hit a grounder to second base that shouldve been an inning-ending double play, but Utley booted it for an error. Flores then looped a two-run double down the right-field line for a 5-0 lead. The Mets blew it open with six runs in the ninth off Jake Diekman and Phillippe Aumont capped by Flores hitting a grand slam, his second career homer in 145 at-bats. "I just want to prove to them that I can do the job," Flores said. "I know Im good and I can do this." Den Dekker, called up from Triple-A Las Vegas a day after being sent down, robbed Ryan Howard of his third homer in three games. He jumped above the short wall in centre and grabbed Howards drive in the second. Den Dekker saved another run in the third when he threw out Reid Brignac trying to score from second on Ben Reveres single. Brignac hadnt even reached third base when den Dekker fielded the ball in medium centre, but third-base coach Pete Mackanin inexplicably waived him home. Howards RBI groundout in the sixth ended Colons scoreless innings streak at 16 1-3. Revere scored on Jeurys Familias wild pitch in the eighth to cut it to 5-2. NOTES: The Mets placed CF Juan Lagares on the 15-day DL with a strained right intercostal muscle. Den Dekker replaced him. ... Phillies ace Cliff Lee, out with an elbow strain, hopes to start a throwing program during Philadelphias upcoming road trip. ... The Phillies are 12-19 at home; 12-12 on the road. The Phillies start a three-game series at Washington on Tuesday. David Buchanan (1-1, 3.86) makes his third career start filling in for Lee. Jordan Zimmermann (3-2, 4.07) goes for the Nationals. ... The Mets head to Chicago for a three-game series vs. the Cubs. Zack Wheeler (2-5, 4.31) faces Jake Arrieta (1-1, 3.20) on Tuesday night. ' ' '
