Buffalo took control of the third period midway through and raised the Leafs' ire when Kane plowed through Dion Phaneuf near the blue line, dropping Toronto's captain to the ice with a high stick.

"I don't quite understand, we should have been on the power play four minutes in the third and we weren't at all," said Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock. "So that's disappointing, but it's also part of life."

Buffalo beat Toronto 2-1 in a shootout.
