TORONTO -- Jonathan Bernier thought it was icing, and so did many of his Toronto Maple Leafs teammates. When it wasnt, the puck banked off the boards and Berniers skate and into the net to give the Carolina Hurricanes a 3-2 comeback victory Thursday night at Air Canada Centre. The NHLs new hybrid icing rule played a role in Ron Hainseys game-winning goal because Radek Dvorak won the race to the faceoff dots over Morgan Rielly, but ultimately Bernier accepted the blame. "It was just a bad mistake by my part," he said. "I looked up and see where my options were. The puck was probably spinning a lot, and I misjudged it." It was a jarring ending to the night for Toronto, which lost starting goaltender James Reimer to a head injury just 32 seconds in and had a two-goal lead midway through the second period. Coach Randy Carlyle said Reimer had a "headache" after winger Josh Leivo accidentally collided with Reimer as the goalie was trying to cover the puck outside the crease. Bernier stopped the first 28 shots he faced before Aurora, Ont., native Ryan Murphy scored his first career NHL goal 2:54 into the third period on a Hurricanes power play. Murphys shot went in off Dave Bollands stick. That was a bad bounce, but it was also the first tangible evidence that the Leafs were in trouble. "Its your job to get back out there and take control of the game," winger Joffrey Lupul said. "We shouldve bounced back a little better, I thought." But the Hurricanes kept coming. From the start of the second period on, they outshot the Leafs 28-14 and eventually tied it on Eric Staals goal 6:48 into the third. The way the puck went right from Carolina defenceman Justin Faulks stick, off Carl Gunnarssons skate and to Staal had the Leafs wondering if they were due for things to turn against them after a fortuitous 6-1-0 start. "Some tough bounces, but its almost karma for the way weve been playing a little bit loose," defenceman Cody Franson said. There was some element of that to Hainseys game-winner, which the Leafs thought was going to go around the boards instead of deflecting back toward the net. The play happened quickly, but linesman Don Henderson waved off icing because Dvorak was the first player to the imaginary line across the faceoff dots in Torontos zone. "It was a great job by Radek going down the ice and getting down there to take away the icing," Hurricanes coach Kirk Muller said. "Next thing I know it was in the net. I said to (assistant coach John MacLean), What just happened? He said: I think we just scored. I think its going to count." It did, with Hainsey calling it "one of those lucky things that happens over time." Carlyle estimated that Dvorak had Rielly beat by about a foot. The 36-year-old Dvorak wasnt leaving it to chance. "With hybrid icing you never know," Dvorak said. "I saw the puck and I had good speed, so I tried to get in on the forecheck. Luckily for us, the puck went in." Lupul was going for a line change as the puck was going down the ice. Asked if the play made him reconsider his thoughts on hybrid icing, he made it clear he didnt see the goal either live or on replay. "Whatever, we (the players) voted yes on hybrid icing," he said. "I wont say my opinion, but you can tell what I voted." The NHL experimented with hybrid icing during the pre-season and it was implemented for the regular season after a vote by the Players Association. Replays indicated that Dvorak was first, but Bernier didnt play the puck because he figured it would be icing. Had the old rule been in place, Bernier might not have made a different decision, but that will never be clear. "Thats the new game, so weve all got to adjust," Bernier said. "But its not excuses." Carlyle noted that a short-side goal is a bad one in the NHL, and this one qualified even though it ricocheted off Berniers skate from behind the net. The only lesson he could impart to his players was to "never give up on the puck." Bernier, who finished with 34 saves on 37 shots, figures that "fluke" goals like that will happen from time to time. His Leafs teammates know that games like this will happen, too. "Obviously throughout an 82-game schedule, youre going to win some games you shouldnt and lose some that you probably shouldve won," Lupul said. "It has a way of equalling out in the end." NOTES -- Leivo scored his first career NHL goal 6:47 into the second period on a shot that went over Hurricanes goaltender Cam Wards left shoulder. "Its a great feeling," Leivo said. "Its a little bittersweet right now but a good chip by Bolland, I got past that D-man two-on-one, (Jay) McClement played a good decoy there and I just saw the top corner and put it short side." ... Leafs forward James van Riemsdyk missed his second straight game with back spasms. ... Ward finished with 24 saves on 26 shots. Ashley Young Jersey .
