TORONTO -- James Reimer made 45 saves to lead the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 3-2 win against the Chicago Blackhawks at Air Canada Centre on Saturday.

The win was Toronto's third in a row.

With the Maple Leafs leading by a goal, Reimer made point-blank saves on Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane. Thirty seconds later, Reimer stopped a Toews slap shot from 15 feet out.

Toronto's Daniel Winnik, who had a goal and three points Friday against the Columbus Blue Jackets, set up the first Maple Leafs goal at 14:10 of the first period. After taking a pass from right wing Phil Kessel, Winnik broke in 2-on-1 with center Nazem Kadri. Winnik made a perfect crossing pass that Kadri tipped past Chicago goalie Corey Crawford for his fourth goal of the season.

With Toronto's Sam Carrick off for hooking, Chicago's Brad Richards scored his first goal with the Blackhawks on a slap shot from 10 feet inside the blue line. Reimer was screened by Blackhawks center Andrew Shaw.

The Blackhawks took a 2-1 lead at 4:18 of the second period with another power-play goal. This time it was Brent Seabrook scoring from the point, and again it was Shaw providing the screen that took away Reimer's vision of the puck.

James Van Riemsdyk tied it for Toronto 1:04 later with his 100th NHL goal and 100th point with the Maple Leafs when he intercepted a Johnny Oduya clearing attempt and snapped a quick shot past Crawford.

Peter Holland's first goal of the season gave the Maple Leafs a 3-2 lead at 2:21 of the third period. Left wing Leo Komarov set up behind the Blackhawks net and spied Holland alone in front. After a quick pass, Holland snapped a shot past Crawford.

The Blackhawks missed a chance to tie the game when Richards hit the crossbar. Shaw again was screening Reimer.
