TORONTO -- James Reimer wanted to keep things simple. It had been a while since he started a game for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and his return came against Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and the potent Pittsburgh Penguins. "Maybe there was some circumstances surrounding the game, but honestly I didnt really pay much attention to them or think about them much," Reimer said. "It was just the Toronto Maple Leafs playing the Pittsburgh Penguins, and I was trying to get in the way of pucks." Reimer got in the way of a lot of pucks Saturday night as he was the backbone of the Leafs 4-1 victory over the Penguins at Air Canada Centre. The 26-year-old made 37 saves to give Nazem Kadri the chance to score the game winner, and many of his stops came when the majority of the action was in the Leafs zone. "You dont win in this league without goaltending that gives you a chance, and Reims gives us a chance," coach Randy Carlyle said. Reimer hadnt started since Oct. 17 when he left 32 seconds into Torontos game against the Carolina Hurricanes after a collision with winger Josh Leivo. The long layoff didnt bother him. "I felt normal right from the get-go," Reimer said. "I didnt feel any uneasiness or uncertainty, really. The puck dropped, and I was ready to stop it." Reimer gave up a power-play goal to Kris Letang, the Penguins defencemans first of the season, 6:52 in but shut the door from there. One of his more memorable saves came on Malkin a few minutes later, and Dave Bolland went right down the ice and tied it up for the Leafs shorthanded. But Reimer was really tested in the second period when the Penguins turned up the heat on him and outshot the Leafs 16-4. He made a couple of stops on two-on-one rushes, denied Crosby of a one-timer goal at the side of the net and flashed his glove against Matt DAgostini to the delight of many of the 19,539 fans in attendance. "I thought he was outstanding," Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said. "There was flurries and pucks around his net he was strong on. ... He certainly was the difference in the second period." Had Reimer cracked even once, the Penguins mightve been able to ride some momentum and cruise past the Leafs. Instead, Toronto still had hope at the second intermission. "I think thats been the story of our season, for the most part," said James van Riemsdyk, who assisted on Kadris goal and Phil Kessels later in the third. "Theres been stretches where we get outshot, but our goaltending is making big saves for us. Theyve gave us a chance almost every night. Thats all you can ask for out of your goalies." All Reimer and Jonathan Bernier seemingly need is a little goal support. Reimer got it Saturday night in the form of a strong third period led by the new-look first line. Kadri replaced Tyler Bozak between van Riemsdyk and Kessel, and Carlyle said after the victory that Bozak would miss at least 7-10 days with a lower-body injury. Kadri beat Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury 1:26 into the third after smart passes from van Riemsdyk and Kessel but took more pride in stopping Malkins line. "Were all on the same page offensively. It was great," Kadri said. "Its not just the offensive side of things, we took care of the D-zone. We were able to shut down a few of their key players." Bolland, David Clarkson and Mason Raymond also did a good job against Crosby, Pascal Dupuis and Chris Kunitz. Malkin finished the night with a minus-3 rating, while Crosby was a minus-2. As much credit as captain Dion Phaneuf and those forwards got for their defensive play, it eventually came down to Reimer, who didnt fold under a lot of pressure. "James played great. Both tenders all season have been unbelievable," Clarkson said. "Its always good when you can have that confidence in your goaltending. No matter who goes in net there we have confidence that if were getting outshot or outplayed, then we know what we can do." Reimer frustrated the Penguins all night and improved to 4-0-2 in his career against Pittsburgh. But he wasnt crowing about that success. "They have arguably the best players in the world, and they bring it every time they come and play," Reimer said. "Im just lucky enough to have teammates step up and play big games. I dont know if it has much to do with me more than the guys in front of me working their butts off. Again tonight I thought they worked as hard as they could, and they really earned it."

The team hopes Lupul, who has missed two games after taking a shot off the foot in practice Thursday, will be able to play Tuesday at the Edmonton Oilers. ... Penguins defenceman Rob Scuderi left the game with a lower-body injury late in the first period after taking a hit from Clarkson along the boards. Bylsma did not have an update, saying only that Scuderi would be re-evaluated Sunday. www.cheapjerseysstore.net .

Nocerino, who joined Milan from Palermo in the final minutes of the off-season transfer window, scored in the 30th, 32nd and 90th minutes at the San Siro. Zlatan Ibrahimovic added another for the Rossoneri in the 73rd and Sebastian Giovinco pulled one back for Parma in the 78th to match Udineses Antonio Di Natale for the league scoring lead with his sixth goal. Juventus, which beat Fiorentina 2-1 Tuesday, leads with 16 points, followed by Udinese and Lazio -- who each missed out on chances to go top -- with 15 each. Milan and Napoli are next with 14 points each. "Now its important to get back top again," said Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri. "This is an important result for continuity." Napoli beat Udinese 2-0 and Lazio was held to a 1-1 draw at home by Catania. Inter Milans struggles continued with a 1-1 draw at Atalanta, with Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar exiting at halftime with a left thigh problem; and Juraj Kucka scored an 89th-minute winner as Genoa beat Roma 2-1. Also, it was: Cesena 1, Cagliari 1; Chievo Verona 0, Bologna 1; and Novara 1, Siena 1. In Milan, Nocerinos opening goal came from the edge of the box after he was left unmarked inside the area and his second came with a spectacular shot to the top corner from beyond the area. Ibrahimovic then dribbled by a defender and easily shot past Parma goalkeeper Antonio Mirante, and Nocerino scored again with a header following a cross from Antonio Cassano. "The negotiations started at 1:30 p.m. the final day and finished at 6:25," Milan vice-presideent Adriano Galliani said of Nocerinos transfer.dddddddddddd "These are the great things about the market. It was a lucky (signing)." At Napolis San Paolo stadium, Ezequiel Lavezzi put Napoli in front with a difficult volley in the 20th and Christian Maggio doubled the southern clubs lead with a header in the 44th, as Udinese struggled without Di Natale, who did not make the trip. In Rome, Miroslav Klose gave Lazio the lead with a header in the fifth for his seventh goal in 10 matches in all competitions since transferring from Bayern Munich, and Gonzalo Bergessio equalized in the 63rd from the centre of the area. In Bergamo, Wesley Sneijder scored for Inter with a shot that was deflected in off a defender in the 32nd. German Denis equalized for Atalanta in the 44th with a header following a cross from fellow Argentine Maximiliano Moralez, as Inter defender Cristian Chivu struggled to keep up. Chivu then fouled Atalanta substitute Guido Marilungo to give Atalanta a penalty in the 89th, and Inters substitute goalkeeper Luca Castellazzi blocked Denis poorly aimed spot kick. Inter protested over the penalty, which appeared to be called by the linesman. "In eight rounds weve had five penalties whistled against us and not one was clear," said Inter manager Claudio Ranieri. "The squad continues to improve and Im leaving here pleased, even though we wanted three points. In Genoa, Bosko Jankovic put the hosts in front in the 38th following an error by Roma defender Gabriel Heinze. Romas 20-year-old forward Fabio Borini equalized in the 82nd following a setup from Marco Borriello and Kucka then scored the winner off his leg without realizing it as he stood by the post for a corner. cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
