Toronto Maple Leafs vs New Jersey Devils

 TORONTO (AP) The Toronto Maple Leafs had a big shots advantage and even two more skaters on the key play. The New Jersey Devils put up the only big numbers that mattered - on the scoreboard.

Brian Gibbons had a rare 3-on-5 goal, Miles Wood and Pavel Zacha each scored twice and unbeaten New Jersey beat Toronto 6-3 on Wednesday night to end the Maple Leafs' perfect start.

Van Riemsdyk opened the scoring on a power play at 8:33 of the first, stuffing the puck past Schneider. New Jersey answered 34 seconds later when Wood tipped in Steven Santini's shot from the point. Wood scored again 1:38 later, taking advantage of a handling error by Calle Rosen before ripping a shot past Andersen.

Moore tied it with 6:27 to go, redirecting Nikita Zaitsev's shot as New Jersey's Marcus Johansson, serving Stefan Noesen's instigating penalty, exited the penalty box.

New Jersey went ahead 3-2 at 9:58 of the second on the power play, with rookie Jesper Bratt finding Zacha left alone in front of goal to complete a tic-tac-toe passing sequence. Van Riemsdyk was in the box for slashing.

Toronto came into the contest having scored 19 goals through its first three games to start the season, the second-most in franchise history, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The 1917-18 team scored 27.

The Devils have 16 goals in their three outings, one off the franchise record set in 1991-92.

NOTES: The game was the 6,500th in Maple Leafs history. Toronto's regular-season record stands at 2,837-2,737-78343. ... Devils rookie defenseman Will Butcher had two assists.
