Toronto, ON (SportsNetwork.com) - Phil Kessel netted a pair of goals and Jonathan Bernier stopped 25 shots as the Toronto Maple Leafs ripped apart the Boston Bruins, 6-1, at Air Canada Centre. James van Riemsdyk and Tyler Bozak both registered a score and two assists for the Maple Leafs, who have taken three in a row and posted their most decisive victory of the season. Peter Holland and Morgan Rielly added markers as Toronto pumped home a season- high three power-play goals. I think we really felt like we owed Boston one, Holland said of the Bruins 4-1 win on Oct. 25. Last time they were in here, we felt a little embarrassed about our effort. Dennis Seidenberg provided the lone offense for the Bruins, whose five-game win streak was put to rest in their largest margin of defeat thus far. Tuukka Rask took the loss after allowing four goals on 16 shots in 23-plus minutes. Niklas Svedberg finished up making 15 saves on 17 shots. Its the only thing we did as a team -- we all played poorly, seethed Bruins forward Chris Kelly. We didnt compete. We didnt work. We didnt make plays. We didnt defend. Thats why it was 6-1. Kessel whipped a shot over Rasks glove at the 18-second mark of the second period, then Rielly potted a Holland rebound from the right side just 94 seconds after the second-period puck drop to open up a three-goal lead. Bostons Seth Griffith was called for tripping at 2:20 and Bozak rushed the net to redirect a van Riemsdyk offering for a 4-0 Toronto edge with 3:32 elapsed. Svedberg entered the game, but Bozek tipped home another shot on the power play, this one a chop of a Jake Gardiner point blast which touched van Riemsdyks stick to make it a five-goal spread just shy of the midway point of regulation. Boston had a potential power-play goal from Reilly Smith wiped out a short while later when Carl Soderberg made enough contact with Bernier to impede his ability to stop the puck. However, Seidenberg slipped a shot home through a Simon Gagne screen with 5:45 left. Hollands backhander from atop the crease on the advantage made it 6-1 for the hosts at 7:21 of the third. We knew what was at stake, said van Riemsdyk. But its a long year. Cant get too high, cant get too low. After nearly clicking on a chance during the games opening shift, Kessel provided the Leafs the first goal of the game on a wrister off the rush from the right circle at 6:46.

"Were playing mentally tough right now," said Nestor. "Weve faced a lot of good opponents but weve found a way to win with all the ups and downs. "On clay there are a lot of momentum chances. Weve been doing a good job of playing relaxed on clay, a lot of momentum chances, doing a good job of playing relaxed and staying with our game plan. Wev been playing well these last few weeks and we are confident going to Paris." Torontos Nestor has won four Roland Garros titles since 2007, the last one two years ago with former partner Max Mirnyi of Beelarus.dddddddddddd "Its always nice to go back to back, especially the way weve been winning." said Nestor. "Weve shown a lot of resilience. We are dealing well with any situation on court, thats a feeling going into a grand slam. We hope to keep this up in Paris, but nothing is easy. If we stay mentally strong, we give ourselves a chance to win (in Paris). "Well continue training, we have to adjust to longer matches. Well keep building and try to be as ready as possible for Roland Garros." Nestor, 41, now owns 85 doubles titles from 140 finals and remains in third place in the post-1968 Open era doubles title leaderboard behind Mike Bryan (100) and Bob Bryan (98). Nestor and Zimonjic came back quickly after Nestor was broken in the third game of the match, recovering the break for 3-3. They earned the set after 36 minutes with a concluding break. Zimonjic lost serve early in the second set but two double-faults from Lopez set up break-back points, which were converted for 2-2. Nestors team hung onto their clay momentum as the set moved into a tiebreaker. They earned the victory on the first of four match points. ' ' '
