TORONTO - Power plays gave the Toronto Maple Leafs ample opportunity to break open a tight game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Cheap Saints Jerseys . When they couldnt take advantage, the Penguins cashed in to beat the Maple Leafs 2-1 Friday night at Air Canada Centre. The Leafs went 0 for 6 on the power play after scoring three goals that way Wednesday night against the Boston Bruins. Pascal Dupuis scored twice and Sidney Crosby reclaimed sole possession of the NHL lead in points with an assist for the Penguins (11-3-1), who responded from a 5-0 drubbing at the hands of the New York Rangers earlier in the week. Cody Franson scored a third-period goal for the Leafs (9-6-2), who visit the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night. Jonathan Bernier was solid in stopping 39 of the 41 shots he faced. Penguins backup goaltender Thomas Greiss made 30 saves, including 13 in the third period. This was a better showing for the Leafs than the first time the Penguins visited this season, a 5-2 loss on Oct. 11 that led to a fan throwing his blue and white sweater on the ice. This was the annual Hall of Fame game held in conjunction with induction weekend. The class of 2014 - Dominik Hasek, Peter Forsberg, Mike Modano, Rob Blake, the late Pat Burns (represented by widow Line) and referee Bill McCreary — was honoured in a pre-game ceremony. The teams wore Hockey Hall of Fame patches on their jerseys and decals on their helmets. Line Gignac Burns dropped the puck for the ceremonial faceoff between captains Crosby and Dion Phaneuf. Once the action got under way, the Penguins controlled play for much of the first period. Their emphasis on better puck possession under first-year coach Mike Johnston was obvious as they had it in the Leafs zone more often than not. The Leafs only had five shots in the first but several of them were high quality. A penalty-filled second period gave way to plenty of chances for the Leafs to break the scoreless tie. A roughing penalty on Pittsburgh defenceman Robert Bortuzzo for clipping Nazem Kadri led to a lot of sustained pressure but no goal. Out of the box, Bortuzzo set up the Penguins first goal by holding the puck in the offensive zone and getting it to Brandon Sutter. Sutter found Christian Ehrhoff for a one-timer at the point, and Dupuis deflected it past Bernier at 17:18 of the second. Just 40 seconds later, Evgeni Malkin thought he had his seventh goal of the season but just his second at even strength. With an open net to shoot at it, the 2004 No. 2 pick didnt get all of it but still thought he had it - except Bernier got his glove up in time. Bernier was all but helpless 15 seconds into the third period when Dupuis made it 2-0. Reunited on the top line, Crosby found Dupuis for a one-timer between the circles that Chris Kunitz set the screen on. Franson cut the deficit to one 6:32 into the third by collecting Crosbys failed clear and firing a high shot past Greiss that seemed to catch the goaltender unprepared. The defenceman extended his point streak to six games with his third goal of the season. Phaneuf created a brouhaha at 17:46 of the third when he made a textbook shoulder to chest hit on Patric Hornqvist along the side boards. Malkin took exception to it and fought the Leafs captain but put his team on the penalty kill as a result. Again the Leafs were unable to score on the power play.

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Rays had a difficult decision to make: What was more encouraging, Canadian Erik Bedards performance or the offences breakout night? Bedard, from Ottawa, gave up one hit in seven scoreless innings and the Rays had 10 hits in a 7-1 victory Saturday over the Cleveland Indians that broke a four-game skid. Winning his second straight start after 15 without a win, Bedard gave up a double to Ryan Raburn in the second inning, Clevelands only hit until Lonnie Chisenhall led off the ninth with a single off Grant Balfour. Just as refreshing for the Rays, who had lost six straight home games, was the offensive output led by James Loney, who had three hits and drove in two runs. The Rays had only 10 runs while losing the four preceding games on their homestand. "Tonight we came out ready to swing and it led to good things," said Matt Joyce, who drove in two runs with sacrifice flies. "We have some great players here. Obviously, this year hasnt gone the way we wanted so far and it was a rough week for us, but weve still got a little ways to go." Bedard (2-1) is the only Rays starter to go six innings over the teams last seven games. Manager Joe Maddon "was tinkering with the idea" of sending him for a seventh before calling for Juan Carlos Oviedo, who followed with two perfect innings. "I had probably 10 pitches left," said Bedard, who has allowed one run or less in three straight starts for the first time since 2008. "Im always a slow starter so the first couple were rough, but after that you just get in the groove oof things and throw strikes. Cheap New Orleans Saints Jerseys. " Bedard got nine of his outs on flyballs. "He just really mixed and matched angles, speeds, everything," said Cleveland manager Terry Francona. "(Raburn) hit the line drive double, but other than that, there was a lot of lazy flyballs. Kind of exactly what he wants you to do." Zach McAllister (3-3) gave up eight hits and five runs in 4 1-3 innings for the Indians, who had won four straight. David DeJesus drove in Tampa Bays first run with a two-out single in the third. The Rays made it 3-0 in the fourth when Loneys first hit was followed by Wil Myers double and the first of Joyces sacrifice flies. Yunel Escobar drove in the second run with a two-out single. Ben Zobrist had two hits and scored twice for the Rays, who had lost six straight home games. NOTES: John Axford is out as the Indians closer, Francona announced before the game.
