Leafs set franchise record with 46th win
Philadelphia slid a point ahead of the Blue Jackets for third place in the Metropolitan Division, while the Avalanche stayed one point out of the final Western Conference wild-card berth.
Throughout the game, the Panthers pushed back and nearly tied the game, but Frederik Andersen stood on his head and made some spectacular saves.
Marner, Auston Matthews, Patrick Marleau and James van Riemsdyk scored for Toronto, who took a 3-0 first period lead and sat back for most of the remaining 40 minutes, with Frederik Andersen holding off a late Florida charge.
THE TWO-HUNDRED CLUB: James van Riemsdyk's third-period goal stood up as the game victor, typically scored from just outside the crease.
The NY Rangers are just playing out the string and looking to the future after selling off many of their best players at the trading deadline.
"Marner was a star tonight, really set the tone".
Mike Babcock has always stressed to his team that they need to "start on time" and they did just that.
Jonathan Huberdeau, with two, and Evgenii Dadonov hit the 25-goal mark for Florida (39-29-7), which got 31 stops from Roberto Luongo.
Marner has four goals and nine assists in his point streak and 30 points (11 goals, 19 assists) in his last 20 games.
But Huberdeau wouldn't be denied at 15:08 when he picked the top corner on Andersen after Aaron Ekblad hit the post midway through the period for Florida, which was 13-3-1 over its previous 17 coming into Wednesday.
"These are the games you're judged on", Panthers coach Bob Boughner said.
Marner's growth in the second half may be forcing Leafs management to alter their plans of letting the 2015 fourth overall pick play out his entry-level contract, as the club did with Nylander this season.
Luongo thwarted another Bozak chance from the slot later in the period, but could do nothing when Matthews beat him five-hole on what turned into a 4-on-2 rush with the Panthers caught gambling at 9:24.
Chara has seven goals and 16 assists this season, his 20th in the National Hockey League.
With 6:05 left in the first, Marner won a puck battle in the left corner and skated around until he hit Marleau with a flawless pass on the doorstep for a 3-0 Toronto lead.
Luongo shot out his pad to rob van Riemsdyk once again, but the big winger followed up his own rebound while getting slammed to the ice for the 200th goal of his career at 11:48. Marleau, meanwhile, tied Frank Mahovlich for 33rd on the NHL's all-time list with the 533rd goal of the 38-year-old's career.
Florida cut the deficit to 3-1 at 17:49 of the first when Huberdeau took advantage of Zach Hyman's miscue in the Leafs zone and zipped in his 24th. Considering the Panthers' desperate situation, it should be encouraging to see he Leafs go toe-to-toe with a team that was not going to go down easily.
"Time flies by", said van Riemsdyk, who now has nine goals and three assists in his last eight games.
Dadonov poked his 25th past Andersen off a scramble with 1:26 left, but the Leafs held on to set a couple of franchise marks.
The win keeps the Celtics within striking distance of the Toronto Raptors for first place in the eastern conference at three games back, but more importantly, the contributions of players like Brown and rookie Jayson Tatum, and Terry Rozier, who added 13 points last night, are proving the Celtics can win even without some of their best players on the court, with the knowledge that the team can only get better when they return.
Andersen won his 36th game this season, which is a single-season record for the franchise.
