Pavel Kubina’s hard slap shot with just over five minutes to play Saturday helped Toronto overcome another two-goal deficit and lifted Maple Leafs to a 5-2 victory over the New York Rangers on Saturday night.

Rangers backup goalie Steve Valiquette appeared headed for his fourth straight win over the Maple Leafs until Toronto scored four times in a span of 3:30 of the third period to wrest the victory away from the NHL’s top team. New York fell to 10-3-1.

John Mitchell scored twice in the Maple Leafs’ outburst.
