TORONTO (AP) — Chad LaRose had a goal and two assists, Justin Peters stopped 32 shots and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-1 Tuesday night in the teams’ first game since the break for the Vancouver Olympics.

Tuomo Ruutu, Brandon Sutter, Jussi Jokinen and Sergei Samsonov also scored for the Hurricanes, and Joni Pitkanen had two assists.

LaRose returned to the lineup after missing the previous seven games before the break due to injury, and Peters was making just his third NHL start. He stopped every shot the Leafs threw his way until John Mitchell finally broke the shutout bid with 5 minutes to go in the third.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere was shaky in goal for Toronto, finishing with 25 saves.
