Joffrey Lupul knew that New Jersey goalie Martin Brodeur was returning from an injury, so the Maple Leafs right wing decided to test the 10-time All-Star as often as possible. "We talked about it before the game," Lupul said. "We knew that he was coming off missing three weeks and that he might be off a little bit. We knew we should take our chances." Lupul led the charge against a rusty Brodeur, scoring three goals in a wild second period for his first hat trick in almost four years, to lead Toronto past the Devils 5-3 on Wednesday night.
