    Ron Wilson celebrated plenty of wins at the Shark Tank as the home coach. His first one there since being fired by San Jose nearly three years ago was a milestone.

    Carl Gunnarsson scored a tiebreaking goal midway through Toronto's four-goal third period, and the resurgent Maple Leafs gave Wilson his 600th career win by beating his former team 4-2 on Tuesday night.

    "It's pretty special," Wilson said. "Only six other guys have done it. You don't see it very often. The best thing is that we managed to find a way to do it here."

    Clarke MacArthur scored twice, Phil Kessel added another goal and James Reimer made 40 saves to help the Maple Leafs win their fourth straight game and just their second all season when trailing after two periods.

    Patrick Marleau scored twice for the Sharks, who have lost five straight and have a losing record this late in the season for the first time since April 2006. Joe Thornton assisted on both goals to end a five-game pointless streak, his longest drought in 10 years.
