TORONTO (AP) — Jean-Sebastien Giguere lost for the first time as a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs, even though he thought they were the better team on the ice.



Ryane Clowe scored with less than seven minutes left in the third period, leading the Western Conference-leading San Jose Sharks to a 3-2 victory Monday night.



"I thought we outplayed a pretty good team," Giguere said. "They're obviously one of the better teams in this league, and being as young as we are, being able to outplay them is a really good sign for us."



Dan Boyle and Joe Pavelski also had goals for the Sharks, who sent Giguere to his first loss since being acquired from Anaheim on Jan. 31. Giguere had posted consecutive shutouts in his first two games with San Jose.



Tyler Bozak and Phil Kessel scored for the Maple Leafs, who nearly tied it with a flourish in the final minute of regulatio.
