And they're winning 4-2 late in the second, while holding to Blues to 13 shots with 4 minutes to go in the period. Not bad.
In other things Tanky, Buffalo gets a point in an overtime loss, and Calgary up 3-0 on Winnipeg early in the second.
Wake up and stick that in your pipe!
EDIT: 5-2 after 2.

Tyler Bozak is itching to get back into a game and after the latest round of Maple Leafs injury news, coach Mike Babcock could use him.
Out with a concussion for the past 19 games, Bozak is closing in on return and was a full participant in the team?s practice Friday at the Mastercard Centre. But without clearance from team doctors and medical staff, the earliest the veteran centre can return is for Monday?s game against Calgary.
Filling out the roster for Saturday?s home date against Buffalo will be the latest challenge for Leafs management thanks to four absences from practice. Forward Brooks Laich was absent for what Babcock said were personal reasons and will not be available against the Sabres; Leo Komarov?s injury is worse than first feared; Peter Holland suffered an undisclosed injury Thursday against Florida; and Milan Michalek is also doubtful.

4 ? The Leafs have received .954 goaltending over the last five games, with Jonathan Bernier taking four of the starts and playing arguably his best four-game sequence of the season ? not that that?s saying much in such a down season. Bernier?s allowed five goals in four starts, and if we recap the goals in the three games since he shut out the Wings with a 38-save performance: Brian Boyle was left wide open at the bottom of the circle on a pass out from behind the net (no chance) vs. Tampa Bay; Ben Smith scored on his own net and Connor Carrick deflected one off of Nazem Kadri and into the net versus Florida, while the other two Panther goals were empty netters; last night vs. Calgary, both he had little chance on. It looked like Matt Stajan had beat him clean shortside for the 1-1 goal, but it actually picked up off Kadri?s stickblade and found the top corner, while Joe Colborne got inside on Morgan Rielly and got a bounce off of his body on a shot that was going well wide of the net. Longwinded way of saying: He?s been good and it?s a significant part of the Leafs? recent uptick in results.
