OTTAWA (AP) — Tyler Bozak scored two goals, rookie James Reimer made 32 saves in his first NHL start, and the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Ottawa Senators 5-1 on Saturday night.

Darryl Boyce scored his first NHL goal and Clarke MacArthur and Luke Schenn also tallied for Toronto, which led 5-0 just over 5 minutes into the second.

Joey Crabb and Phil Kessel assisted on a pair of goals by Bozak 2:57 apart in the first period, and the Maple Leafs won for the second time in six games. Tomas Kaberle also had two assists.

Sergei Gonchar scored a power-play goal later in the second for Ottawa, which lost its third in a row (0-2-1). Brian Elliott stopped four of seven shots before he was replaced 16:10 into the first. Mike Brodeur made 12 saves the rest of the way.
