TORONTO -- The irritated Toronto Maple Leafs will try to shake off their slump when they play host to the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night at the Air Canada Centre.The Maple Leafs did everything they could Sunday but were unable to overcome a hot goaltender in losing to the Colorado Avalanche, Torontos fourth defeat in the past five games.The Sharks defeated the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday after losing their previous two games.The Maple Leafs (11-11-5) had a season-high 52 shots at Avalanche goaltender Semyon Varlamov but scored only on a third-period power play in a 3-1 loss.Frustrating is definitely the right word, Maple Leafs left winger James van Riemsdyk said. Their goalie played really well, and he can get hot like that at times throughout his career. Unfortunately, we couldnt get another one by him.Toronto posted a season-high shot total for one period with 21 in the first 20 minutes, then matched that mark in the third period.Im pleased with our effort, how we played and how we went about it, Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock said.The game against the Sharks will be the Maple Leafs second on a five-game homestand. Toronto is 8-5-0 at home.Babcock has an obvious objective on the homestand.I want to win, weve got to win, its an opportunity for us, he said. (Sunday) was a big game for us, obviously, to not get a win. Now weve got a real good team in San Jose, and weve got to get ready for them.Toronto goaltender Antoine Bibeau made his NHL debut and allowed two goals while stopping 26 shots against Colorado. Babcock was pleased with the rookies performance.No. 1 goaltender Frederik Andersen is the probable starter against the Sharks.The Sharks (16-11-1) are starting a four-game road trip with the game in Toronto.Kevin LaBanc scored for the second straight game, collecting what proved to the game-winner Saturday in San Joses 4-3 victory over the visiting Hurricanes.The 21-year-old has four goals and two assists in 15 games.For a team thats had trouble scoring, hes one guy thats consistently scored for us, Sharks coach Pete DeBoer said. The puck follows him around. I also like other parts of his game. He hounds it, hes on top of the other team. He works away from the puck. Hes done a great job and hes a hard guy to remove from the lineup just because of how hes playing and how hes contributing.The best thing DeBoer took from the game Saturday was the result.I think when you look at the week, out of the three games we played, it was probably our poorest of the three, DeBoer said. But we found a way to win, and the other two we lost, maybe we deserved better.It was the fourth time in the past 13 games in which the Sharks scored more than two goals. The four goals Saturday equaled their season high.Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic left the game Saturday with a lower-body injury, and it was not known if he would be able to play Tuesday.Im not thinking ahead. Im thinking today, and today Im trying to get better, Vlasic said Sunday. Well see tomorrow, and its going to be the same thing.Im not thinking, Oh, Im going to play on Tuesday. Im thinking I need to get better today.Defenseman David Schlemko missed the past three games with a lower-body injury and appears near to a return.As insurance, the Sharks recalled defenseman Mirco Mueller from their American Hockey League team, the San Jose Barracuda, on Monday.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- With two goals in the first 11 minutes, the Galaxy stole a 2-1 victory in Portland.Robbie Keane and Gyasi Zardes each scored for Los Angeles to put an end to the Timbers nine-game undefeated streak before a national TV audience.Zarek Valentin scored for the Timbers, who were stung when they lost veteran defender Nat Borchers to what appeared to be a left ankle injury late in the first half. Borchers was a key piece to the Timbers team that won the MLS Cup last season.It was the Galaxys fourth straight victory in Major League Soccer play, and fifth overall. Los Angeles (9-3-8) is third in the Western Conference, while Portland (7-7-8) is in sixth.Neither team added to the score in the second half.We definitely wanted to come out aggressive and I thought we did that. We didnt know what the second half had in hand, but the sun came out, turf got hotter. But I thought the substitutions were phenomenal. The guys that came on were just great and amazing and it worked well for us, Zardes said.The Timbers were already without defender Liam Ridgewell, who has a strained right calf and will also miss the MLS All-Star Game against Arsenal next week in San Jose.The Galaxy were without defender Ashley Cole because of a sore hamstring, and midfielder Steven Gerrard, who has a leg injury.The Galaxy went ahead early with Keanes easy tap in off Giovani dos Santos cross in the seventh minute. It was Keanes seventh goal in 10 overall matches this season.Los Angeles extended the lead to 2-0 in the 11th minute on Zardes bouncing header.It took us a while to get going, and we didnt make the plays we needed, Portland goalkeeper Jake Gleeson said.The slow start was a letdown for the Timbers, who were coming off a big 3-1 victory over rival Seattle last Sunday. But Portland narrowed it to 2-1 before the end of the half with Zarek Valentins a hard shot from atop the box in the 41st minute. It was his firstt goal of the season.ddddddddddddive them credit, they pushed for the goal. I think our biggest mistake in the game was conceding a goal at the end of the first half. We could have been in position to, I wouldnt say sail through that game, but deal with it a little bit better in the second half, Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said.A few moments later Portland suffered a major blow when Borchers was injured. It did not appear that the veteran defender was hurt by contact.Borchers could not stand after he was treated on the field and had to be stretchered off. Arena appeared to wish him well as he was carried to the locker room.Portland coach Caleb Porter said after the game he had no update on Borchers condition.Portlands early struggles on defense and the loss of Borchers came as rumors swirled concerning the Timbers interest in former Newcastle United defender Steven Taylor, who was at the match.Portlands Darlington Nagbe got a good chance with a clear shot in the 86th minute but the ball sailed just over the crossbar. The Timbers also got a free kick late but was unable to score.The last time the two teams met the Galaxy knocked the Timbers out of the U.S. Open Cup with a 1-0 victory at Providence Park in late June. Los Angeles has advanced to the semifinals of the competition, hosting FC Dallas at StubHub Center on Aug. 10.There was bad blood between the two teams stemming from a match earlier this year, during which Nigel de Jong tackled Nagbe.Nagbe, who has also been playing with the U.S. national team, sprained his ankle. De Jong was later given a three-game suspension by the league for the hit.The sellout crowd at Providence Park loudly booed de Jong when the lineups were announced before Saturdays match.It was the first soccer match for ESPNs SportsCenter On The Road.
