The Leafs did not go down without a fight, scoring with less than five minutes remaining to send the game into the extra period. But Jean-Sebastien Giguere was too much for Toronto, his former team, to overcome. The Avalanche goaltender made 35 stops, including a glove save on the Toronto possession that preceeded Jones' game-winner in overtime.
Daniel Winnik and Milan Hejduk added goals for the Avalanche, who sit atop the Northwest division standings in the NHL Western Conference.
