TORONTO (AP) -- Andy McDonald and Brad Boyes scored in a shootout to give the St. Louis Blues a 5-4 comeback win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday.

Storming back from an early 3-0 deficit, the Blues tied it at 4 at 4:21 of the third period on Paul Kariya's backhander to set up the dramatic finish in the only meeting of the season between the teams.

Manny Legace stopped Nik Antropov, allowed a goal to Nikolai Kulemin and then stopped Pavel Kubina in the shootout to win it. Vesa Toskala was beaten by both St. Louis shooters.

Boyes, Patrik Berglund and Keith Tkachuk also scored goals for the Blues (2-1-0), who were looking for a stronger effort after their 5-2 loss to the New York Islanders on Saturday.

Tomas Kaberle, Nikolai Kulemin, Alexei Ponikarovsky, Niklas Hagman scored for the Maple Leafs (1-2-0).

Early on it looked like the Thanksgiving Day crowd of 19,045, enjoying a rare afternoon game at the Air Canada Centre, would be treated to a rout from the home side. The Maple Leafs were in complete control after the first period, outshooting the Blues 15-3 while building a 3-0 lead.

But Boyes banged in a rebound 33 seconds in after Toskala robbed McDonald to make it a 3-1 game.

Then Ryan Hollweg got a boarding major by slamming Blues rookie Alex Pietrangelo into the boards from behind.

Hollweg, who had just served a two-game suspension for getting three boarding penalties in 41 games probably earned himself another suspension 2:23 into the second for

A fourth boarding major will likely earn Hollweg an automatic three-game suspension from the NHL, but the immediate impact of his carelessness allowed the Blues to tie the game up.

Berglund scored on a rebound past a prone Toskala at 4:47 while Tkachuk buried a feed from Kariya at 5:35 to make it 3-3. The Leafs have given up seven power-play goals so far this season.

Hagman restored the Leafs lead at the 14-minute mark, but Kaberle's goal early in the third tied it up.
