TORONTO, Jan. 8 (UPI) -- Mats Sundin scored twice less than five minutes apart in the third period Tuesday night as the Toronto Maple Leafs rallied for a 4-3 victory over the Nashville Predators.
The Eastern Conference-leading Maple Leafs were lackluster for the first two periods and trailed, 3-2, entering the final 20 minutes before Sundin helped rescue them.
Sundin tied with a power-play goal, his 24th, with 10:52 remaining. He produced the game-winner 4:41 later.
Mikhael Renberg game out of the left corner and slid a pass to the top of the crease, where Sundin tapped the puck past goaltender Mike Dunham to put Toronto ahead. Sundin is fifth in the NHL in scoring with 43 points.
Defenseman Dmitry Yushkevich and enforcer Tie Domi also scored for the Leafs, who had been 0-2-1 all-time against Nashville.
Corey Schwab, making just his second home start of the season, stopped 22 shots for Toronto.
Martin Erat and Greg Classen scored first-period goals for the Predators, who suffered their third straight loss.
