OTTAWA, Feb. 25 (UPI)
NHL: Toronto 5, Ottawa 0
Vesa Toskala stopped 31 shots Monday for his third shutout of the season to hand the Toronto Maple Leafs a 5-0 victory over the Ottawa Senators.
Darcy Tucker had two goals and an assist and Matt Stajan had three assists for the Maple Leafs, who have won four of their last five games.
Tucker was injured with 10 seconds to play. Ottawa's Christoph Schubert slapped the puck from center ice and it hit off of Tucker's right knee. Tucker dropped to the ice and had to be dragged to the bench and was later carried to the locker room.
Toronto captain Mats Sundin, who scored the first goal of the game, said Sunday he will stay with Toronto for the rest of the season.
Ray Emery gave up five goals on 21 shots for the Senators, who have lost five of their last seven games. Emery was pulled after the second period.
