BOX SCORE
TORONTO (AP) -- For one night at least, the Toronto Maple Leafs
looked like the high-scoring team of a year ago.
Sergei Berezin, Garry Valk and Yanic Perreault each had two
points in the Toronto's four-goal second period as the Maple Leafs
beat the Boston Bruins 7-1 Sunday night.

The Maple Leafs, who have struggled to score goals, had seven
goal scorers. Gary Roberts, Berezin, Danny Markov, Tie Domi,
Perreault, Jonus Hoglund and Valk scored for Toronto.
"I believe in these guys," Toronto coach Pat Quinn said.
"We've had six and seven 20 goal scorers over the last couple of
years, so it's there."
The Maple Leafs finished with a season-high 36 shots after
managing just 16 in their scoreless tie with St. Louis on Saturday
night.
The Bruins, 8-3 losers to Atlanta on Saturday night, have
given up 15 goals in their last two games.
"It's embarrassing," Boston's Don Sweeney said.
Kay Whitmore replaced Boston goalie Andrew Raycroft to start the
third. Raycroft gave up five goals on 26 shots. Whitmore gave up two goals on 10 shots.
The Bruins are 1-5 in their last six games, and 2-9 in their
last 11.
"We expect our hockey club to play with a lot more discipline,
commitment and determination," Boston coach Mike Keenan said.
"They need to play harder for each other, which we haven't seen
yet."
Frustrations boiled over in the third period. Joe Hulbig and
Dave Manson had just finished serving matching roughing minors when
Domi pummeled Hulbig with a mid-ice check away from the play that
drew a charging penalty. During Domi's penalty, Ken Belanger tried
to draw Roberts into a fight off a faceoff that developed into a
brawl.
"It was a blatant attempt to injure," Keenan said. "Tie is
tough enough. He doesn't have to do that to somebody. He can fight
his own battles, and he can fight them properly. He doesn't have to
try to maim him, which he tried to do."
Keenan said he would talk to the NHL about it.
"Tell him to worry more about calling the NHL. (He should)
worry about his personality," Domi said. "I don't have anything
against Keenan, but that's typical."
Markov gave Toronto a 2-1 lead at 7:28 of second with a shot
from the point.
Berezin was alone at the side of the net when Valk and Perreault
assisted on his power play goal at 14:37.
Domi one-timed a pass from Jonus Hoglund to make it 4-1 at 16:49
of the second.
Perreault tapped in a rebound at 18:24 to make it 5-1. Valk and
Berezin assisted on the goal.
Roberts scored on a wraparound at 6:33 of the first after
defenseman Jason Allison fell to the ice and gave up the puck.
Mikko Eloranta scored Boston's lone goal at 10:56 of the first
period.
Toronto goalie Curtis Joseph stopped 21 shots.
