Kessel put six shots on net but failed to convert last Tuesday, when the Leafs fell 2-0 at Tampa Bay for their eighth shutout loss of the season. Kessel had a goal in Toronto’s 3-1 home victory over the Panthers on Oct. 26, when Jean-Sebastian Giguere stopped 21 shots to earn the win. Florida returned the favor Nov. 10, beating the Maple Leafs 4-1 at home behind Tomas Vokoun’s 32-save effort. Vokoun is 8-3-2 with a 2.07 goals-against average and .933 save percentage in his career versus Toronto. The veteran netminder gave a valiant performance with 33 saves in his team’s final game before the break, but got outdueled by Bruins All-Star Tim Thomas in a 2-1 loss at Boston last Wednesday.
While the Panthers didn’t have an All-Star this season, the Maple Leafs had the final player selected in the first NHL All-Star fantasy draft. As a reward for waiting, Kessel received a new car, $20,000 to donate to a cancer charity and a large number of text messages from his Toronto teammates. Toronto and Florida will each seek an improved second half beginning Tuesday night, when they face off against each other at the Air Canada Centre. It’s been seven years since the Maple Leafs appeared in the postseason, while Florida hasn’t taken the ice for a playoff game since 2000. Neither drought appears likely to end in 2010-11, with the Panthers eight points out of a playoff spot and Toronto six points further back.
