Toronto Maple Leafs forward Ryan O’Reilly scored a hat-trick in the 5-3 win over the Sabers at the Keybank Center in Buffalo.

These were the first successes for the 32-year-old athlete in the Leafs jersey.

The trio of Mitch Marner, John Tavares and O’Reilly took control of Toronto’s offense with 12 points total.

Marner put on his best performance of the season by interfering five times.

Michael Bunting, who scored twice against the Canadian on Saturday, delivered in the encounter. The number 58 accepted Morgan Rielly’s superb pass to escape and register his 18th of the current season.

The Sabers almost played a nasty trick on their opponents. Five goals down, Don Granato’s men flashed the red light three times in 11 minutes. However, it wasn’t enough for promotion.

And 200 for Brayden Point

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Brayden Point threaded the needle for the 200th time of his career in a convincing 6-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks at Tampa’s Amalie Arena.

The latter completed an excellent play by Nikita Kucherov and Brandon Hagel during a power play early in the third period.

Midway through the game, the hosts opened the scoring when Nick Paul defeated Duck’s goalie Lukas Dostal with a shot between the pads.

Jon Cooper’s men have had no regrets, scoring six goals in their last two thirds.

Tampa rookie defenseman Nick Perbix had a three-point night.

Ryan Strome was the only Ducks skater to defeat “Bolts” goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy, who had a fairly quiet night, receiving just 19 shots from the visitors.

Svechnikov and Jarvis take care of the blues

At the PNC Arena in Raleigh, Carolina Hurricanes forwards Andrei Svechnikov and Seth Jarvis shone with a three-point performance in a 4-1 win over the St. Louis Blues.

Sebastian Aho also put his grain of salt on during the evening with a game for two points.

Former Hurricanes Justin Faulk was the only goalscorer for the Blues.
