TORONTO (AP) ― Daniel Alfredsson and Jason Spezza scored and Craig Anderson made 37 saves and the Ottawa Senators earned a 3-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday.
Anderson has a 7-1-1 record and .945 save percentage this month. The Senators have climbed to fifth in the Eastern Conference and hold a nine-point advantage over the ninth-place Leafs.
Kyle Turris also scored for Ottawa, which hasn’t dropped consecutive games in regulation since Nov. 9 and 11.
Matthew Lombardi and Joffrey Lupul scored for the Maple Leafs, who couldn’t hold an early 2-0 lead.
The game featured two fights, including one between Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf and Nick Foligno in the second period that came six minutes after the Senators’ forward had a low hit on Phaneuf.
Toronto got off to a fast start against the Senators, who were playing for the second consecutive night. Lombardi beat Anderson with a shot through the legs at 6:51 of the first period, giving him his first goal in a 17-game span going back to Oct. 27.
Lupul extended that advantage less than 10 minutes later after taking a pass from Phil Kessel on a 2-on-1 break.
