Alexander Nikishin's first NHL overtime goal gave the Canes a 4-3 win over the Maple Leafs. The Canes did not score a 5-on-5 goal in the win. Jordan Staal scored on the power play -- deflecting home a Seth Jarvis shot; Eric Robinson converted a penalty shot; and, K'Andre Miller scored a shorthanded goal -- all in the 2nd period. Brandon Bussi snapped a personal 3-game losing streak with 23 saves in the win. The Canes lead the Penguins by 10 points in the division race.
