TORONTO -- The Maple Leafs are winning sloppy so far this season. "Coaches arent here to cut up wins. Lets not over-analyse," Toronto coach Randy Carlyle said after a 5-4 shootout win Saturday over Ottawa in the Leafs home opener. "We didnt play to the level were capable of playing. It was more a hockey game, I think, we played in parts and we were sloppy throughout it but we still found a way to get two points. "So well take that and move on. Toronto (3-0-0) will likely move forward with Jonathan Bernier in goal after the former Los Angeles King was rock-solid in relief of James Reimer. Bernier, who came on midway through the second period with Toronto down 4-2, stopped Milan Michalek -- whose shot hit the crossbar and bounced out -- and Jason Spezza in the shootout. Mason Raymond, on an nifty turnaround backhand, and Tyler Bozak, through Craig Andersons legs, scored in the shootout to give Toronto the win. Carlyle had started Reimer, the incumbent, in the season opener in Montreal and then switched to Bernier the next night in Philadelphia. Reimer got the nod against Ottawa for his 8-1-1 career record against the Senators. But on Saturday he had a difficult night with little help from his defence. "It was a tough one," said Reimer. "I felt that I was hanging in there, making some good saves. But a couple of pucks slipped by somehow. Some bad luck maybe. But at the same time as a goaltender, youre the last line of defence so youve got to be there and youve got to find a way to keep the puck out of the net." The Leafs were an adventure in defence with Reimer. But Bernier added instant stability and looked imperious in stopping all 15 shots he faced plus another two more in the shootout. "There wasnt a lot of extra rebounds hanging around," Carlyle said of Bernier. "When he made the save, the puck was either in his glove or he was able to freeze it. He controlled the puck, which allowed us to box out. There wasnt so many wild scrambles around the net. Hats off to him." Bernier said he just wanted to "make that first save and feel the puck a little bit and get into the game." He also took time to praise Reimer, saying he had fallen victim to some unlucky bounces. On Friday, Carlyle said his decision on who to start against Ottawa was "made a long time ago." Its probably safe to say his decision on Tuesdays starter against Colorado was made Saturday night. "It makes it easier," he said of the goalies performances against the Senators. Raymond, Nazem Kadri, Joffrey Lupul and James van Riemsdyk scored for Toronto, which combined a fluid offence with a leaky defence. Kyle Turris, Cory Conacher, Jared Cowen and Spezza scored for the Senators (1-0-1), who got another big night in goal from Anderson, and probably deserved a better fate. "We come on the road and get three of a possible four points, had the lead at 4-2 halfway through the game so, yeah, we can take that out of the game," said Ottawa coach Paul MacLean. "The way we played over the course of the 60 minutes, much like last night, we can take the good, throw out the bad and get on with our season." The Senators were playing their second game in as many nights, having spoiled the Buffalo Sabres home opener with a 1-0 win on Friday. The start of the schedule has not been kind to Ottawa, which plays its first six games away from home. Toronto outshot Ottawa 42-36 through overtime in continuing its unlikely unbeaten start. The Leafs are doing it without the suspended David Clarkson and with injuries to Nikolai Kulemin and Mark Fraser. Both teams had chances to win late in regulation, with the Leafs either unable to beat Anderson or find the target. Toronto had a 42-second power play to finish overtime after Dave Bolland was hauled down by Cowen. But Toronto failed to take advantage. The Leafs went 2-for-6 on the power play while Ottawa was 0-for-1. The Senators got good value from their second line of Turris, Conacher and ex-Leaf Clarke MacArthur on the night. They combined for two goals and three assists and together were plus-eight. Toronto had the first goal but Ottawa scored four of the next five before the Leafs pulled one back on each side of the second-period intermission. Toronto cut the lead to 4-3 on a slick wrist shot by Lupul on the power play at 19:43 of the second. Van Riemsdyk then tied it up at 2:52 of the third after a speeding Phil Kessel found him with a laser-like pass at the side of the crease. Carlyles carefully considered goalie rotation strategy went by the boards midway through the second period when Bernier replaced Reimer with the Leafs down 4-2 after giving up two goals in 15 seconds. Reimer had gotten the nod over Bernier by virtue of his stellar career record against the Senators: with three shutouts in 10 games, a 1.69 goals-against average and .949 save percentage. Bernier had never faced Ottawa before. The crowd of 19,552 was chanting Bernier in the third after Sens forward Bobby Ryan toppled over the net from behind and landed on top of him. It was also a tough regular-season debut night for Leafs rookie Morgan Rielly, who along with defensive partner Cody Franson, was on the ice for the Senators first three goals. For the 19-year-old Rielly, it was a bumpy, high-profile beginning -- under the Hockey Night in Canada spotlight after being a healthy scratch the first two games. "As the game went on, he got better," said Carlyle. "We got to see more of what hes about." He and Franson were each minus-3. The 48th Highlanders Pipe and Drum Band kicked off the night, a Maple Leaf tradition that is old-school as they come. The rest of the opening ceremonies for the franchises 96th home opener was decidedly more modern with fans wielding free glo-sticks and Leafs players skating onto the ice to pounding music through a giant Maple Leaf flashing their names. Outside Air Canada Centre, fans watched on a big screen from Maple Leaf Square in a scene reminiscent of the teams playoff run against Boston last season. The game was tied 2-2 after 20 minutes, following a loose Leafs defensive performance that ended with Carlyle looking up at the clock and clenching his arms in front of him like he had a bad stomach ache.

DENVER -- Maxime Talbot was simply looking to help kill a penalty. That he scored a short-handed goal in the process, well, the Colorado Avalanche certainly wont argue. Talbot broke a second-period tie, and Semyon Varlamov stopped 27 shots to lead the Avalanche to a 4-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night. "Every time you get a goal on a PK its always huge," said Talbot, who has scored 16 short-handed goals. Tyson Barrie, Ryan OReilly and Matt Duchene also scored for the Avalanche, who bounced back from an 8-2 loss to the Oilers two weeks ago in Edmonton. That lopsided loss was on their mind. "We knew what happened last time when we played there. We came ready," Talbot said. Taylor Hall and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had goals for the Oilers, who finished their road swing 0-4 and were outscored 14-4. They also were without Sam Gagner after he was ejected in the first period when he knocked down Paul Stastny with a stick to the face. That was a sensitive subject after the game. Oilers coach Dallas Eakins really didnt think Gagner did anything that warranted an ejection. "I thought it was by accident when that stick came up," Eakins said. "I thought you could see it immediately, when the guy went down, Gags was concerned. When you mean to do it, you skate away with a smirk on your face. "All I was looking for from the official was the explanation. ... Suddenly, everything changed after the Jumbotron showed it." Edmonton pulled goalie Devan Dubnyk for an extra skater with 1:53 remaining, but couldnt score the equalizer. Duchene added an empty-net goal with 1.1 seconds remaining. He also had two assists. Talbot scored the winner with 1:32 remaining in the second period with the Oilers on the power play. Edmonton turned over the puck, Marc-Andre Cliche carried it up the ice, and then fed it to Talbot, who slid a backhanded shot past Dubnyk. "The short-handed goal, its frustrating," Eakins said. "Youve been waiting the whole game for a power play. The power play not only goes out and gives them a 2-on-1, the next unit goes out and gives them a breakaway. The whole bench is shaking their head. Its disgusting." Varlamov made it hoold up throughout the third period, and in the process vanquished some demons against Edmonton after being rocked for eight goals on Dec.dddddddddddd5 at Rexall Place. "Oh yeah. It was a nightmare, especially for me," Varlamov said of his last encounter with the Oilers. Edmonton took a 2-1 lead at 12:10 of the second period when Nugent-Hopkins sent a wrist shot past Varlamov. It didnt last long as OReilly tied it by tapping in a pass from rookie Nathan MacKinnon. Duchene also had an assist on the play, his second of the night. He has 10 points (four goals, six assists) in five games. Asked before the game about his recent scoring spree, Duchene shrugged and said, "I just got back to doing what I was doing before I got hurt." Duchene missed a few games with an oblique injury in late November and then had a virus that zapped his strength. He finally feels back at full strength, he said. "When it goes in, it goes in," Duchene said. "When it doesnt, it doesnt, and thats hockey. You just want to keep it going." Barrie scored on a 5-on-3 power play early in the second period, courtesy of Gagners crosscheck and an unsportsmanlike penalty against Hall. Gagner and Stastny were battling after a faceoff when Gagner used both hands to shove his stick into Stastnys face. Stastny stayed down on the ice for a moment before heading over to the bench, where the trainers appeared to examine his nose. Gagner was assessed a major penalty and sent to the locker room. Hall drew an unsportsmanlike penalty at the end of the period. "Taylor Hall did not say one thing to that referee," Eakins said. "Another player said it that was going down the hallway, and it was nothing terrible. "To light up a guy, to put you down 5-on-3, I came out at the start of the period, after a cooling off period, as were supposed to do as coaches, and was basically told by the ref to ... I cant say what he said to me. Just looking for simple explanations but couldnt get them."
