TORONTO -- A day after being demoted to the American Hockey League, T.
Karl Joseph Raiders Jersey .J. Brennan gave
the Toronto Maple Leafs another reason to call him back up. The 24-year-old
scored three goals and added an assist to lead the Toronto Marlies to a 6-3 win
over the St. Johns IceCaps in AHL action Saturday afternoon. Brennan opened the
season by being named AHL player-of-the-week and was summoned by the Maple Leafs
Wednesday. While he didnt see any game action in his brief stint, he says he got
enough of a taste while practicing with the big club to keep hopeful for another
re-call. "You see the level and the pace up there and you try and reflect your
game off that speed," said Brennan. "Im just trying to do the things that
elevate my game. Thats where I want to be." The hat trick was Brennans second of
the season and he now leads the AHL in scoring with seven goals and 10 points in
three contests. Wade MacLeod, John-Michael Liles and Stefan Legein had the other
goals for Toronto (3-0-0) while Spencer Abbott and Trevor Smith chipped in with
two assists apiece. Andrew Gordon, Jerome Samson and Will ONeill scored for St.
Johns (1-2-1). Drew MacIntyre made 21 saves for the win as Jussi Olkinuora
turned aside 27 shots in defeat. MacIntyre, who played with Brennan two seasons
ago with the Rochester Americans, is familiar with how Brennan plays an
offensive minded game. But hes most impressed with the way the 24-year-old has
come along protecting his own net. "He could play forward easily, but hes good
defensivly too," said MacIntyre. "Hes worked hard at that." Brennan scored two
goals in the first 2:43 of the opening period to put the Marlies ahead. However,
Toronto picked up three straight penalties, including a double minor to Sam
Carrick for roughing, and the IceCaps scored three times to take a 3-2 lead into
the first intermission. Gordon put St. Johns on the board at 6:11 while ONeill
and Samson added power-play goals. Marlies head coach Steve Spott was not
pleased with his clubs lack of discipline in the opening 20 minutes, and
questioned the double minor handed to Carrick. "Im really not sure what happened
on that play," said Spott. "I didnt get an explanation so Im not sure what he
did." Liles tied the game with a power-play goal at 15:28 of the second period
and MacLeod put Toronto ahead in the final minute of the period. Legein added to
the Marlies lead midway through the third period and Brennan capped the game
with a goal into an empty net. "Sometimes the best defence is a good offence,"
said Brennan. Both clubs went 2 for 7 on the power play.
