Bozak becomes second Leaf to score on 3-on-5

NEWARK, N.J. - Tyler Bozak has become on the second player in Toronto Maple Leafs' history to score a goal with his team skating two men short.

Bozak matched Darryl Sittler's feat when he beat Martin Brodeur with Toronto skating 3-on-5 at 12:42 of the third period Wednesday night.

Bozak lost a faceoff in his own end, but pushed the puck past Brian Rolston at the point and beat Brodeur with a backhander on a breakaway for his 15th goal. It cut the Devils' lead to 3-2, but New Jersey went on to win 4-2.

Sittler scored 3-on-5 on March 19, 1980, in a 9-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets.
