TORONTO -- The Toronto Maple Leafs won their sixth straight game, 6-2 against the Anaheim Ducks at Air Canada Centre on Tuesday.

Anaheim's seven-game winning streak ended.

Toronto is 14-0-0 when scoring first this season. The Maple Leafs (19-9-3) are 10-1-1 in their past 11 games.

Maple Leafs center Tyler Bozak scored that first goal Tuesday 15:12 into the game. Left wing James van Riemsdyk drove to the net from the corner and tried to jam the puck past goalie Frederik Andersen, who made the save. Bozak scored his 12th of the season on the rebound from the slot.

Toronto made it 2-0 at 1:31 of the second period when left wing Joffrey Lupul accepted a pass from defenseman Korbinian Holzer at the faceoff circle and snapped a high shot past Andersen on the short side. It was Lupul's seventh goal of the season.

The Ducks pulled within 2-1 with a shorthanded goal at 13:13. Center Ryan Kesler got the puck inside the Toronto blue line and took off with defenseman Sami Vatanen on a 2-on-1. Kesler hit Vatanen with a pass, and he broke in alone, snapping a shot past Toronto goalie Jonathan Bernier for his ninth of the season.

Left wing David Booth restored Toronto's two-goal lead at 4:37 of the third period when he connected on a wraparound, his first goal with the Maple Leafs, and then 51 seconds later Nazem Kadri deked Ducks defenseman Mark Fistric with a perfectly executed toe drag and whipped a high shot past Andersen to make it 4-1.

The Ducks (21-7-5) pulled Andersen, replacing him with Ilya Bryzgalov, who was making his first appearance for Anaheim this season in his second stint with the Ducks.

Kesler got the Ducks back within 4-2 with his 11th of the season at 8:35 of the third. He drove to the net with Kadri in pursuit, took a pass from Kyle Palmieri, and redirected the puck past Bernier.

Toronto right wing Phil Kessel made it 5-2 with a snap shot past Bryzgalov for a power-play goal at 15:23. Kessel scored again, his 17th of the season, on a breakaway at 18:17.
