Toronto suffered a 7-3 loss here to the Florida Panthers on Tuesday, yielding seven consecutive goals during a 31-minute stretch bridging the first and third periods.
Johnny Pohl scored the lone goal for the Maple Leafs in a 3-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday.
Toronto lost center Michael Peca with a knee injury late in the first period when he collided with Chicago defenseman Jim Vandermeer.
