TORONTO -- Connor Brown is having fun playing for his hometown Toronto Maple Leafs.On Thursday night, the 22-year-old rookie came through with the best game of his career in from of the home fans.Brown had two goals and two assists for a career-high four points to lead the Maple Leafs to a 6-1 victory over the Florida Panthers for their seventh win in nine home games.It really is a dream come true playing in your home city, Brown said. I was a Toronto Maple Leaf fan my whole life. Its a pretty awesome experience.Mitch Marner had another impressive goal, and Leo Komarov, James van Riemsdyk and Jake Gardiner also scored for the Maple Leafs. Nazem Kadri had two assists and Frederik Andersen stopped 27 shots.All but one of Torontos eight wins this season have come at home.I think every time you step on home ice you still cant believe it, said Marner, who grew up in nearby Thornhill, Ontario. A hundred years of this team and luckily enough were part of that now.The win spoiled Florida goalie James Reimers first start in Toronto since leaving the Maple Leafs in the offseason. Reimer finished with 24 saves an d Aaron Ekblad scored the lone goal for the Panthers.The Maple Leafs got to their former goalie quickly, scoring three times in the first period -- including two by Brown.Brown deflected Morgan Riellys point shot past a surprised Reimer nearly six minutes in. The goal was initially ruled off for a high stick, but was later overturned on video review.After Ekblad evened the score at 1-1 with only his fourth point of the season -- all goals -- Brown scored again. This time, he eluded a check along the boards by Ekblad, continued a hard drive down the right side of the ice and then flung a shot on goal as he avoided a diving Jason Demers.Brown crashed into the boards and popped up with a visor full of snow after the shot beat Reimer, who was taken aback by the goal once more.Signed to a five-year, $17 million deal in the summer, Reimer is 2-3-1 record in his first seven games with Florida.Marner padded the lead to two as he gained control of the puck just inside the Florida blue line, took a step on defenseman Michael Matheson and then made a series of dekes to beat Reimer.He was still fighting off the advances of Matheson prior to scoring, waiting until the last possible moment to slide the puck from backhand to forehand, tucking it just around the left pad of the goalie.I was really committed on going to the backhand, Marner said. Last second, I kind of just wanted to try and make a move and see what happens.Marner now has six goals and 10 points in his last seven games, trailing only Winnipeg winger Patrik Laine in rookie scoring (16 points).Brown added his third point when he lofted a pass to Komarov on a Toronto rush, the Finnish winger flipping a shot past Reimer for the 4-1 lead. He notched his fourth point on Gardiners third of the year late in the third.The line of Brown, Komarov and Kadri not only managed to score a bunch but shut down the Panthers top unit, which features Aleksander Barkov and 44-year-old Jaromir Jagr.We can play him against real good players, which is positive, Leafs coach Mike Babcock said of Brown, who was playing in only his 24th game.Van Riemsdyk, coming off his first hat trick as a Leaf on Tuesday, got the Leafs fifth goal late in the second. He picked off a flubbed pass by Dylan McIlrath in the Florida zone and beat Reimer.Game notes Van Riemsdyk has a team-leading eight goals and 17 points. ... Toronto rookie sensation Auston Matthews remained without a goal for the 11th consecutive game. The 19-year-old has only two assists in that span. ... Browns previous career high of three points also came against Florida late last season. ...UP NEXTPanthers: At Ottawa on Saturday night.Maple Leafs: At Montreal on Saturday night.

The flanker, who has played 65 times for France, is expected to be out for up to four months. The biggest punch to the gut heading into Week 13 is the loss of tight end Rob Gronkowski. Not just for the Patriots, but for fantasy owners as well. If you dont have a TE2 stashed away to step up and take a starting role in your lineup, I recommend streaming tight ends through the remainder of the season.Tight end suggestions:Tampa Bays Cameron BrateHoustons C.J. FiedorowiczSan Franciscos?Vance McDonaldPittsburghs Ladarius GreenWashingtons Vernon DavisCincinnatis Jermaine GreshamInjuries to monitor in Week 13:RB Mark Ingram -- toe (questionable)RB Ryan Mathews -- knee (out)TE Jordan Reed -- shoulder (out)WR Tyrell Williams -- shoulder (questionable)WR Jeremy Maclin -- groin (questionable)WR Marvin Jones -- thigh (questionable)WR A.J. Green -- hamstring (out)LocksQB:?Colin Kaepernick @ ChicagoKaepernick is a legit top-12 starting fantasy QB each week after throwing three touchdowns with 296 passing yards and 113 rushing yards last week. This week he struts his stuff against a Bears defense that ranks 22nd in rushing yards allowed to quarterbacks. Get him in your lineup and grab your popcorn!(Others:?Matthew Stafford @ New Orleans, Russell Wilson vs. Carolina)WR: Larry Fitzgerald vs. WashingtonFitzgerald has not scored a touchdown in a hot second, but that stat is about to change on Sunday. Arizona faces Washington and Josh Norman, who rarely covers the slot, where Fitzgerald has lined up on 65 percent of his routes this season. Fitzgerald will have a much easier day then the rest of the Cardinals WR corps.(Others:?Doug Baldwin vs. Carolina, Golden Tate @ New Orleans, Brandin Cooks vs. Detroit)RB:?Jordan Howard vs. San FranciscoHoward has a juicy matchup against the 49ers, who have one of the worst defenses in the league. Howard is averaging almost 5 yards per carry in each of his past four games. San Francisco is allowing a little over 170 yards per game and has given up the most fantasy points to running backs this season.(Others:?Theo Riddick @ New Orleans, Spencer Ware @ Atlanta, Matt Forte vs. Indianapolis)TE:?Jimmy Graham vs. CarolinaGraham caught six passes for 67 yards last week against the Buccaneers to give him 264 yards and three touchdowns over his last four games. This week he takes on a Carolina defense that has struggled against opposing TEs and is ranked 31st against these oversized wide receivers.(Others:?Eric Ebron @ New Orleans, Tyler Eifert vs. Philadelphia)FlopsQB:?Eli Manning @ PittsburghManning is not in my top 12 this Sunday. Bad weather conditions and an iimproved Steelers defense has me concerned.dddddddddddd. Pittsburghs pass defense ranks seventh against opposing quarterbacks this season. Ouch.WR:?Kelvin Benjamin @ SeattleI see Cam & Co. having a long day in Seattle. Kelvin will be spending a lot of time with Richard Sherman on Sunday. Sherman doesnt show often, but he does when a team has legit No. 1 wideout.RB:?Rashad Jennings @ PittsburghJennings had a disappointing Week 12 by not delivering for fantasy owners against the Browns. Sunday he has a much more difficult matchup at Pittsburgh and should not be in your starting lineup.TE:?Coby Fleener vs. DetroitFleener has been a huge disappointment this fantasy season. Even though the Lions are a favorable matchup for opposing TEs, Josh Hill is the tight end of choice for the Saints this Sunday.SleepersQB:?Tyrod Taylor @ OaklandTaylor can do it for you in the air and on the ground, scoring his fourth rushing TD in the last 5 weeks this past Sunday. He now has Sammy Watkins back in the Bills lineup, which gives Taylor a great vertical threat. Oakland has given up the sixth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season.(Honorable mention:?Alex Smith @ Atlanta)WR:?Willie Snead vs. DetroitSnead is a sneaky good play this week in fantasy. The Saints are home against the Lions very vulnerable secondary. New Orleans should sport a pass-heavy attack against Detroit, which has allowed the 11th-most receiving yards to pass-catchers this season.(Honorable mention:?Michael Thomas vs. Detroit, Tyreek Hill @ Atlanta, Cameron Meredith vs. San Francisco)RB:?Jeremy Hill vs. PhiladelphiaHill is the featured back now that Gio Bernard is on IR and is finally being heavily utilized in the Bengals offense. Running backs have had success against the Eagles defense this season. Hill is an RB2 in Week 13.(Honorable mention:?Dion Lewis vs. Los Angeles, Kenneth Dixon vs. Miami, Tim Hightower vs. Detroit)TE:?Ladarius Green vs. New York GiantsGreen played on a season-high 14 snaps against the Colts on Thanksgiving. Word out of the Steel City is that Green will be more heavily involved in the offense this week. The Giants have allowed the seventh-most receiving yards per game to tight ends, and at least 55 yards to five different tight ends over their past five games.(Honorable mention:?Vernon Davis @ Arizona, Vance McDonald @ Chicago, Josh Hill vs. Detroit)Good luck in Week 13!
