Tommie Harris' wife dies
TORONTO, Nov. 8 (UPI) -- Phil Kessel scored his first goal as a Maple Leaf, sparking Toronto to its first home win of the year Saturday, 5-1 over the Detroit Red Wings.
Kessel, who came to the Leafs in an off-season trade with Boston, scored to make it 2-0 Toronto when he gathered up a loose puck behind Red Wings goalie Chris Osgood and put an easy tap-in past the netminder with 26 seconds remaining in the first period.
Jeff Finger, Wayne Primeau, John Mitchell and Alexei Ponikarovsky also tallied for the Leafs, who raised their home record to 1-4-2 so far this season. Toronto goalie Jonas Gustavsson stopped 35 shots for the win.
The Red Wings lost to the Maple Leafs for the third straight time and had their three-game winning streak snapped. Daniel Cleary got Detroit's only goal.
