Maple Leafs stun Senators in OT, snap 7-game losing skid
Even when their own fans want them to tank, the Toronto Maple Leafs refuse to lose.
Eric Brewer scored the winner in overtime as the Leafs scratched out a 4-3 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night at the Air Canada Centre.
The Leafs snapped a seven-game losing streak and earned their first win since the club's 4-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on March 11.
Tyler Bozak scored a pair of goals in the second period and picked up an assist on Phil Kessel's marker that tied the game with 1:24 remaining. The goal was later credited to Bozak, giving him a hat trick.
Toronto dealt a big blow to the Senators, who are now on the outside of the Eastern Conference wild card race thanks to the Boston Bruins' 4-2 win over the New York Rangers on Saturday afternoon.
The Senators and Maple Leafs face off again on April 5 in Ottawa.
