Ed Belfour made 34 saves to move into a tie for second place on the NHL's career victory list, and Bryan McCabe scored on a 5-on-3 power play in the Toronto Maple Leafs' 2-1 win over the Florida Panthers on Monday.
The 40-year-old Belfour has 447 victories to match Terry Sawchuk for second place on the list. Patrick Roy is the leader with 551.
McCabe's slap shot from just above the right circle beat Roberto Luongo to the high stick side at 10:18 of the third with Florida's Gary Roberts and Juraj Kolnik in the penalty box. It was McCabe's 10th goal.
Darcy Tucker gave the Maple Leafs a 1-0 lead with his ninth goal midway through the second period, and Stephen Weiss tied it with a power-play goal late in the period.

At Los Angeles, Detroit goaltender Jimmy Howard stopped 22 shots in his NHL debut, including a breakaway by Eric Belanger, and defenseman Chris Chelios ended a 57-game goal drought to lead Detroit over Los Angeles.
Mathieu Schneider got the go-ahead goal during a power play in the second period. Steve Yzerman also scored and Henrik Zetterberg added a third-period goal, helping extend Detroit's winning streak against Los Angeles to nine games. Nicklas Lidstrom scored into an empty net with 1:43 left to make it 5-1.
Howard was promoted from Grand Rapids of the AHL after former Kings goalie Manny Legace sprained his left knee in Friday's 3-1 loss at Anaheim and was placed on injured reserve.
