TORONTO -- P.A. Parenteau's shootout goal lifted the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 3-2 win over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night, giving their coach, Mike Babcock, a reason to celebrate his 1,000th NHL game.
James Reimer stopped Reid Boucher, Jacob Josefson and Lee Stempniak in the shootout. Peter Holland and Tyler Bozak missed for the Leafs.
David Schlemko's disputed third-period goal seemed destined to give the Devils a 2-1 win.
But Bozak beat Keith Kinkaid with a snap shot from the slot with 2:06 remaining to tie the game and set up the shootout.
