OTTAWA – Peter Holland had a goal and an assist as the Toronto Maple Leafs erased a one-goal deficit three different times in their 5-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Sunday.
David Clarkson had the only goal of the third period and it gave Toronto a 5-3 lead with 14 minutes to play.
James van Riemsdyk, Mike Santorelli and Josh Leivo also scored for the Maple Leafs (8-5-2) while James Reimer made 38 saves.
Mike Hoffman, Kyle Turris and Mark Stone had goals for the Senators (7-4-3), who lost for the first time in regulation on home ice this season. They are now 4-1-3 at Canadian Tire Centre.
Although he allowed five goals on 30 shots, Robin Lehner made some brilliant saves including one off Phil Kessel in the third when, while on his stomach, he reached out with his stick to swipe the puck away just before it crossed the goal line.
In the opening moments of the game it was the Maple Leafs who had the best opportunity to score but Lehner made a great pad save on a one timer from Leivo.
