The Toronto Maple Leafs were dominant as recently as two weeks ago, but offensive issues are partly why theyve cooled off considerably. Having Phil Kessel face the Winnipeg Jets could get the offense going again. Kessel looks to extend the NHLs longest goal streak against an opponent in almost 21 years as the visiting Maple Leafs face the Jets on tonight. Toronto (21-15-3) leads the league with 3.23 goals per game, and averaged 4.08 during a 10-1-1 stretch that was capped with a 6-2 win over Anaheim on Dec. 16. The Maple Leafs have totaled 19 goals in eight games since, including seven in the two victories over that stretch. Those issues continued in Fridays 3-1 loss at Minnesota as they dropped to 2-4 on a season-high seven-game road trip. We played a pretty solid game on the road, said Jonathan Bernier, who had 26 saves. We didnt find a way to score more goals and that was the bottom line. Kessel leads Toronto with 18 goals, but has managed only one in eight games after scoring six in the previous eight. He hasnt had any problems producing against the Winnipeg/Atlanta franchise, scoring in 10 straight meetings and totaling 11 during that stretch. Its the longest streak against an opponent since Brett Hull had goals in 13 consecutive meetings with the New York Islanders from Jan. 30, 1990-March 12, 1994. Kessel scored with 1:33 left in regulation at MTS Centre on Jan. 25, but the Leafs fell 5-4 in overtime to lose for the fifth time in six visits. Theyve dropped four in a row overall in the series. The Jets (19-12-7) lost their second straight overall and third in a row at home, 5-2 to the Islanders on Wednesday. Theyve allowed 12 goals during that three-game skid after matching that total in the previous five games on home ice. Winnipeg is expecting a similar challenge against the Maple Leafs, despite their recent offensive woes. A team that skates and generates an awful lot off the rush and a real good power play, coach Paul Maurice said. Puck skills off transition into motion, so they can make the plays that snap it around. If you can get to them to take away that ice, you got a whole lot better chance. You just cant give them that room, so we gotta play that game. Andrew Ladd has eight points in the past five meetings with the Maple Leafs, collecting two assists in each of the last three. The captain enters this matchup with six points in four games after failing to get any over the previous four. His two goals against the Islanders gave him 14 and tied him with Bryan Little for the team lead. He moved past Blake Wheeler for the scoring lead with 29 points. After Ondrej Pavelec started against the Islanders, Michael Hutchinson could be back in net Saturday. The undrafted Hutchinson leads the NHL with a 1.87 goals-against average and a .937 save percentage. Brett Hull Jersey .com) - The Los Angeles Kings peppered Ryan Miller with shot after shot.

Ryan OReilly Jersey . -- Phil Mickelson came to the St. LOS ANGELES -- The Clippers told themselves they couldnt make any excuses. Didnt matter how physically tired or mentally drained they were from a seven-game trip. They had to find a way to win, just like San Antonio -- a team Doc Rivers calls "the gold standard"-- typically does. And the Clippers did, notching their largest margin of victory ever against the Spurs. Blake Griffin scored 27 points, hitting 11 of 15 free throws, in the 115-92 win Monday night, 48 hours after returning to Los Angeles. "The best part about this game was we knew what we had to do," Griffin said. "We executed our game plan. Even when they made runs nobody got down. That positive attitude is big." Chris Paul added 23 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, and Jamal Crawford had 17 points in his second straight start for the Clippers, who repelled several threats in the third quarter to maintain their lead. "Another good win for us coming off the road trip," said Paul, who wont be dwelling on it. "We got to get past it." Tim Duncan had 17 points and 11 rebounds for the Spurs, whose four-game winning streak ended. Tony Parker limped off the court with a right shin contusion with 5:09 left in the third. He finished with eight points and six assists in 26 minutes, and didnt speak with reporters afterward. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said Parker was in pain and having trouble walking on it, so he had to be taken out of the game. "He has the ball in his hands for a long time, especially when it counts the most," Manu Ginobili said about Parker. "So we couldnt adjust to it and it was hard, especially against a team that is aggressive." DeAndre Jordan added 11 rebounds and Griffin had nine to help the Clippers control the boards, 43-36. Jared Dudley had 14 points, including four 3-pointers. Los Angeles went 4-3 on its road trip, closing it out Saturday with a 113-97 victory over the Washington Wizards. The Clippers didnt practice Sunday before facing off against the Spurs, whose 19-5 record is third-best in the NBA. "It tells you theyre in it mentally," Rivers said of his team. "Very proud of them. I think they wanted to win very bad." San Antonio made onne last run to open the fourth, getting consecutive 3-pointers from Patty Mills and Danny Green that drew the Spurs to 86-82.dddddddddddd The Clippers dominated the rest of the way, stretching their lead to 106-86 during a 20-4 run that ended with three 3-pointers in a row: one by Willie Green and two by Dudley. Crawford put one last dagger in the Spurs as he dribbled down the final seconds before casually popping a deep 3 for the final basket. "We turned the ball over way too much (22 times) and went through bad stretches. We just cant put games together like that and expect to win," Duncan said. "But its early in the season and were going to learn every one of these losses and continue to grow as a team. Hopefully at the end of the year, were a better ballclub because of it." The Clippers stretched their lead to 59-51 early in the third before the Spurs cut it to 59-58 after scoring eight straight points. Crawford, Griffin and Paul took over the rest of the third, combining to score the Clippers last 20 points and stretch their lead to 78-70 going into the fourth. Crawford launched the 20-12 run by hitting back-to-back 3-pointers. The Spurs got within three points on a layup by Ginobili before Griffin scored six of the Clippers next eight points to extend their lead. "Its my job to keep feeding him," Paul said of Griffin. "I love it when he demands the ball. Were going to keep playing through him every night." The Clippers trailed 28-21 after the opening quarter before unleashing a 19-0 run early in the second. Green bookended the spurt with 3-pointers, and in between five different Clippers scored to give them a 40-31 lead. Griffin scored their final eight points to send them into halftime leading 55-49. NOTES: Crawford started for the second straight game and just the second time in 102 games with the team. ... Clippers F Stephen Jackson faced his old team for the first time since the Spurs released him last April. He was signed by the Clippers last week and had six points. ... Popovich and some of the players, including Parker, didnt arrive until about an hour before game time. "The sunset was great over Santa Monica, so we stayed a little longer," Popovich cracked.
