Jonas Gustavsson stopped 29 shots and Alexei Ponikarovsky netted the game-winner late in the second period, as Toronto clipped Florida, 3-2, at Air Canada Centre.
Ponikarovsky provided Toronto its first lead of the game, on a score with less than four minutes to play in the second, when he got hold of a lead pass from Nikolai Kulemin and snapped it past Vokoun.

Jordan Staal scored twice, Ruslan Fedotenko ended Pittsburgh’s power-play slump, and the Penguins halted a season-worst, five-game losing streak, beating Atlanta 5-2 on Tuesday night for the Thrashers’ ninth consecutive loss.
...
The Penguins were 0-for-13 on the power play over five games until Fedotenko made it 3-1 at 14:41 of the second with his eighth goal. Fedotenko skated down the right wing boards, fed the puck to Staal, then took the giveback pass to beat Pavelec for Pittsburgh’s third goal of the period.
Staal and Kris Letang also scored in the second for the Penguins, who haven’t lost as many as six in a row since going 0-5-2 midway through captain Sidney Crosby’s rookie season in 2006.
“Staal’s line did an outstanding job against their top line (Ilya Kovalchuk’s line) and even got a couple of goals. They were awesome,” Fedotenko said.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Gonchar beat Maple Leafs goalie Jonas Gustavsson at 14:44 to break a 1-1 tie, but neither the on-ice officials nor the goal judge saw the puck enter the net.
Consequently, play continued and, not many seconds later, Maple Leafs penalty-killer Alexei Ponikarovsky broke in on Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury, prompting Gonchar to hook him from behind.
The referees determined that a penalty shot was in order but, after a video review determined that Gonchar actually had scored, that infraction was changed to a minor penalty.
The key to the ruling can be found in Rule 78.6 which reads, in part, that «Only one goal can be awarded at any stoppage in play.»
Had Ponikarovsky scored when Gonchar hooked him, his goal would have been waved off after it was determined that Gonchar's goal should have counted. Penalties assessed after a goal is validated by video review, however, must be served to deter teams from taking liberties against the opposition when they know they will be awarded a goal at the next stoppage.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Who's the new guy?

Alex Pechurski looked up tentatively at a small group of approaching reporters after the Penguins' morning skate.

Twenty-four hours earlier, he was readying for a junior game for the Tri-Cities Americans, a 3-2 win against Seattle, but last night he dressed as the Penguins' backup goaltender behind John Curry. Marc-Andre Fleury and Brent Johnson are hurt.

Pechurski, who is from Magnitogorsk, Russia, the same hometown as Penguins center Evgeni Malkin, used winger Ruslan Fedotenko, who is Ukrainian, as translator for the short interview.

Asked if he was nervous, Pechurski's initial reaction was easy enough to understand.

«Nyet," Pechurski said.

Fedotenko relayed: «He's excited to be here, to be part of the team. It's a new step in his career. There's nothing to be nervous about right now.»

Pechurski, a fifth-round draft pick by the Penguins in 2008, was in Russia until late December, when he joined the Americans, a Western Hockey League team in southeastern Washington state.
