Toronto 4, Colorado 1

TORONTO, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- Alexander Mogilny scored the go-ahead goal with 12:47 remaining and Darcy Tucker and Mats Sundin tallied in the final minute Saturday night to give the Toronto Maple Leafs a 4-1 victory over Colorado that knocked the Avalanche below the .500 mark.

A high-priced free-agent acquisition, Mogilny had four goals in his first three games with Toronto. But he had not scored since Oct. 8, a span of 10 games.

Just over seven minutes into the third period, Mogilny took a pass from Shayne Corson and motored down the right side into the Colorado zone. When he reached the top of the faceoff circle, he deked around defenseman Martin Skoula and ripped a shot from the top of the slot that beat goaltender David Aebischer.

Moments after he was bloodied by a hit by Shjon Podein, Tucker scored into an empty net with 36 seconds left. Off the ensuing faceoff, Sundin powered a shot from the right faceoff dot past Aebischer for his sixth goal.

Curtis Joseph stopped 23 shots and Robert Reichel also scored for the Maple Leafs, who extended their home winning streak to four games.

Colorado fell to 7-8-0.
