Kaberle had two goals and 10 assists to lead the NHL with 12 points last week. He had a career-best five points in a win at Anaheim last Monday and added a goal and three assists in a shootout loss at Montreal.

He moved into second place on the Maple Leafs' all-time list of points by a defenseman, piling up 450 points in his 11-year career.
