Giguere had posted consecutive shutouts in his first two games with San Jose.</p><p>Tyler Bozak and Phil Kessel scored for the Maple Leafs, who nearly tied it with a flourish in the final minute of regulation.</p><p>Evgeni Nabokov made 32 saves for San Jose, which has won eight straight road games.</p><p>Toronto struck first when Bozak converted a nifty feed from Kessel to beat Nabokov midway through the first period.</p><p>San Jose finally broke through in the second period with goals by Boyle and Pavelski.</p><p>Kessel tied it for Toronto with a power-play goal in the final minute of the second period, on a play set up by defenseman Tomas Kaberle, who earned the 400th assist of his career.</p><p>Toronto had to scramble to fill out its roster before the game with word that two regular forwards — Christian Hanson and Fredrik Sjostrom — were ill. Nazem Kadri, the Maple Leafs' 19-year-old first-round draft pick, arrived in Toronto on an emergency basis after notching 26 goals and 66 points in 42 games with the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League.</p><p>Kadri, selected seventh overall last spring, made his NHL debut on the first shift of the game, facing off against Joe Thornton. Kadri took a regular shift through the first two periods, heading into the second intermission with more than 10 minutes of NHL ice time under his belt.</p><p>NOTES: Bobby Orr watched Toronto's pregame morning skate from the top row of the corner gold seats at the Air Canada Centre. The retired star tried to maintain a low profile, though he did pose for a few pictures with admirers ... The Leafs will begin their two-week Olympic break after Friday's game in St. Louis.</p><img src="http://admatch-syndication.mochila.com/images/ad.gif?aid=68723424&bid=informcom" /></div><div id="copyright"><div>
