TORONTO (Ticker) -- Mikael Renberg and Tie Domi scored off turnovers 67 seconds apart in the third period, leading the Toronto Maple Leafs to their eighth straight home win, 4-1 over the reeling New York Rangers.

Renberg and Domi both took advantage of bad passes by Rangers defensemen, making it 4-1 with 17:26 to play. That was all the Maple Leafs needed as they remained perfect at home since a 2-1 loss to Detroit on November 16.

Mats Sundin had a goal and an assist for the Leafs, who are 11-4-0 following a 4-9-2 start. Most of their success has come at home, where they are 10-1-0 in their last 11 games.

Toronto tied the longest home winning streak in the NHL this season.

Mark Messier scored for the injury-plagued Rangers, who dropped their fifth straight game. They have allowed four goals in each of the last four.

Mike Dunham was New York's backup goaltender. With Mike Richter out for the season following a concussion, the Rangers acquired Dunham from Nashville on Thursday for a trio of players.
