<h3>Sundin, Maple Leafs face Sabres in Northeast Division clash</h3>

Toronto (2-3-1) at Buffalo (2-2-0) 7:00 pm EDT


BUFFALO, New York (Ticker) -- Mats Sundin is showing no signsslowing down.


The 36-year-old Sundin and the Toronto Maple Leafs visit theBuffalo Sabres in a Northeast Division contest Monday.

A 16-year veteran, Sundin became the franchise's all-timeleading scorer in Thursday's 8-1 win over the New YorkIslanders. The Swedish center has scored at least one point inevery game and is tied for second in the league with 10 points.

On Monday, Sundin will try to help the Maple Leafs rebound fromSaturday's 6-4 setback to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

But that will not be easy against Buffalo, which has outscoredits opponents by a margin of 13-3 over its past two games.

Derek Roy and Jaroslav Spacek both tallied twice Saturday in a7-3 rout of the Washington Capitals - a win which came two daysafter Thursday's 6-0 shutout of the Atlanta Thrashers.

Buffalo is compensating for the loss of centers Chris Drury andDaniel Briere to free agency by getting stellar play from itsdefensemen. In addition to the solid play from Spacek, fellowblue-liner Brian Campbell added four assists in Saturday's win.

The Sabres, who have won 10 of the last 14 meetings, may havesuccess against struggling Maple Leafs goaltender Vesa Toskala,who is 1-3-0 with a 4.48 goals-against average this season.
