Maple Leafs clamp down on Senators

TORONTO -- The Ottawa Senators have never shot this badly. The last time they got close was 1993.

Toronto's Alexander Mogilny and Darcy Tucker scored power-play goals, and Ottawa had a franchise-low 10 shots as the Maple Leafs beat the Senators 3-1 Saturday.

"It was a terrible effort," Ottawa's Wade Redden said. "We didn't have any energy or bring anything to the table."

Mike Fisher scored a shorthanded goal for the Senators, whose previous low was 11 shots on Dec. 30, 1993 against Tampa Bay.

"There wasn't a lot of things we did good tonight," Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson said. "We were slow to the puck, and it looked like we were real tired."

Robert Reichel also scored for the Maple Leafs, who had lost their previous seven regular-season games to Ottawa. The Senators had been 10-1-1 in their previous 12 regular-season games against Toronto.

"Usually, we're the frustrated team that gets lulled into taking risky plays," Maple Leafs forward Tie Domi said. "Tonight, we really stuck to our game plan, and didn't turn the puck over."

The Maple Leafs, who have won three consecutive games, went 2-for-6 on the power play, while the Senators went 0-for-2.

The Northeast Division rivals meet again Monday night in Ottawa.

"We didn't give them any room to skate," Leafs goalie Curtis Joseph said. "It was a great game for us."

Senators goalie Patrick Lalime, who had been 7-0 in his career against Toronto, made 19 saves.

Reichel scored an unassisted goal at 2:36 of the first period after Lalime failed to clear the puck by shooting it behind his net. Reichel intercepted and scored on a wraparound.

"I was surprised by that play," Reichel said.

Fisher scored as he was falling down at 4:34 of the second period. Domi made a centering pass to Tucker, who scored his 13th goal on a one-timer at 14:19.

Mogilny made it 3-1 at 16:45. Bryan McCabe's shot from the point bounced off the boards to Mogilny, who scored his 13th goal from the side of the net. Mogilny had an opportunity to make it 4-1 on a breakaway midway through the third period, but instead of shooting made an errant pass to defenseman Wade Belak.
