(SportsNetwork.com) - The struggling Toronto Maple Leafs need wins to get their postseason quest back on track, but they might settle for scoring a goal when they visit the San Jose Sharks in Thursdays clash at SAP Center. The Maple Leafs are mired in a 1-5-0 slump and the club has been shut out in the first two tests of a four-game road trip. Toronto lost 2-0 in Los Angeles on Monday before dropping Wednesdays tilt in Anaheim by a 4-0 count. Torontos last goal came on an empty-net tally with 1:13 left in Fridays 5-2 home win over Columbus, but the Leafs enter Thursday with a road scoring drought of 157 minutes, 41 seconds. The Maple Leafs have just one win in four games since Peter Horachek was named interim head coach to replace the fired Randy Carlyle. Toronto was in playoff position at the time of Carlyles dismissal, but the club is currently five points out of a postseason berth in the East. Toronto fired 28 shots at Frederik Andersen on Wednesday, but the Ducks netminder stopped them all to silence the Leafs offense. Corey Perry, meanwhile, recorded a hat trick for Anaheim. Jonathan Bernier allowed three goals on 24 shots for the Maple Leafs, who are 3-10-0 over their last 13 games. Were pretty happy with our process, Leafs forward James van Riemsdyk said. We just have to capitalize on our chances. Toronto was blanked in back-to-back games for the first time since March 10-11, 2012 against the Flyers and Capitals. The Leafs are just 7-10-3 on the road this season. They will complete this swing Saturday in St. Louis. The Sharks will try to win for the fourth time in six games tonight after halting a two-game slide with Tuesdays triumph in the desert. Brenden Dillons first goal of the season came in the third period and gave San Jose a 3-2 road win over the Arizona Coyotes. With the score tied in the third, the Sharks went ahead as Dillon snapped a shot on net from the left point that hit off the left skate of Zbynek Michalek and made its way past Devan Dubnyk. It was a pretty evenly played game tonight, said San Jose head coach Todd McLellan. Usually with games like this its the team that gets the break that wins the game and thats what happened tonight. Joe Pavelski and Tomas Hertl each had a goal for the Sharks, while Antti Niemi stopped 27 shots in the win. The two points allowed San Jose to leap past the Los Angeles Kings for second place in the Pacific Division. The Kings had a chance to regain the spot on Wednesday, but L.A. lost a home test to New Jersey. San Jose is hoping to pad its playoff credentials on home ice over the next few weeks. The Sharks, who are 10-7-2 as the host this season, begin a seven- game homestand tonight. The extended residency will feature a meeting with Los Angeles on Jan. 21. Niemi is expected to start tonight for the Sharks. He boasts a 3-1-0 record and 2.01 goals against average in four career games against Toronto. James Reimer is likely to start for the Leafs. He is 1-3-0 with a 3.27 goals against average in his career versus the Sharks. San Jose has won three straight and seven of the last eight meetings against the Maple Leafs. Toronto is just 1-4-0 with two ties over its last seven trips to the Shark Tank. Jamar Taylor Jersey .

BALTIMORE -- As poorly as they played for the first seven innings, it seemed hard to imagine the Baltimore Orioles would be celebrating an uplifting victory well after midnight. Then again, strange things happen when the Chicago White Sox are involved. Nelson Cruz hit a game-tying grand slam in the eighth inning and David Lough scored the winning run on a wild pitch in the 12th to give the Orioles a 5-4 victory Wednesday night. Nick Markakis had four hits for the Orioles, who won two of three from Chicago -- twice in their last at-bat. "Its big," Lough said. "Thats our second walk-off win against these guys. Theyre a good team. Give credit to them and their pitching staff for holding us." The Orioles didnt get a runner past first base against White Sox starter Hector Noesi until the seventh inning and trailed 4-0 entering the eighth. Noesi was pulled after giving up two straight singles, and Scott Downs walked Chris Davis to load the bases with two outs. Chicago manager Robin Ventura summoned Javy Guerra, the fourth pitcher of the inning, to face Cruz. On a 2-1 pitch, Cruz launched an opposite-field drive that barely cleared the wall in right field. It was his 24th home run, the second grand slam of the season and eighth of his career. "I had the chance to do some damage in a couple of at-bats before then, but I grounded into a double play twice," Cruz said. "It feels good to get the home run to tie the game." Said Lough: "Thats a big-time clutch hit right there, as big as it gets. Thats who we want at the plate, because he leads this team. You see what hes capable of doing and the numbers hes put up. Hes a special player." Neither team threatened before the grounds crew came with the tarp as soon as the ninth inning ended. Rain delayed the start of the 10th for 69 minutes. Nick Hundley opened the bottom of the 12th with a walk off Daniel Webb (4-2) and Lough entered as a pinch-runner. Lough took third on a single by Markakis and scored easily when Webb uncorked a pitch that got past catcher Tyler Flowers. "Its tough to lose like that," Ventura said. "Hector threw a great game, but we couldnt hold onto it. Weve got to be able to be better at the end.dddddddddddd" Tommy Hunter (2-1) got the final out in the Chicago 12th to earn the win. "It didnt look like it was a 4-4 game or it ended up being 5-4 in the first seven innings," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "Eight innings. Whatever it was. It seems like yesterday. It was yesterday." Jose Abreu hit his 23rd home run for the White Sox, Adam Eaton tied a career high with four hits and Flowers drove in two runs. Abreu has four homers and 10 RBIs during his current 10-game hitting streak. None of it mattered. "The way we played, we should have (won), but the baseball gods must be upset with us in some way, shape, or form," Eaton said. Baltimore starter Ubaldo Jimenez allowed four runs and eight hits in 6 1-3 innings. The right-hander left the mound in danger of absorbing his ninth loss, but Cruzs slam took Jimenez off the hook. Until Cruz connected, Noesi and the White Sox dominated. Abreu provided Chicago a 1-0 lead by hitting the first pitch of the fourth inning into the seats in left. In the fifth, Alejandro De Aza drew a leadoff walk and scored on a triple by Eaton. The Orioles pulled the infield in, and that resulted in Eaton being thrown out at the plate on a grounder to third. Flowers hit a two-run single in the seventh to make it 4-0. That seemingly provided a bit of breathing room for the White Sox, whose previous seven games were decided by two runs or fewer. Unfortunately for Chicago, the lead didnt hold up. "That was my fault, I put this game on myself," Guerra said. "I have to be better in that situation, no matter what. I need to understand the situation. I feel bad for the team in general because I know I let everyone down." NOTES: Baltimore is off Thursday. Chicago sends Scott Carroll to the mound in the opener of a four-game series against host Toronto. ... Orioles RHP Bud Norris (strained groin) was supposed to pitch in Fridays split doubleheader against Tampa Bay. Chris Tillman will start instead, and Norris might not pitch again until Tuesday. He was expected to have an MRI on Thursday, Showalter said. ... Eaton has reached base in 20 straight games and owns a career-best 12-game hitting streak.
