Well, a switch must have gone off in the days following the loss, because the Maple Leafs have, to an extent, righted their ship with a 2-1-1 mark in the last four contests. That includes a 4-3 home victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night. Mogilny notched his 16th career hat trick, including the game-winner with 2:22 to play, to lead the charge and continue his stellar personal start.

The Bolts will attempt to carry their momentum into November on Friday when they seek their third consecutive victory, against the Washington Capitals at the MCI Center. "We're ju |
