Watch: Leafs' Van Riemsdyk stays hot with 2 goals in 3 minutes
James van Riemsdyk is on some kind of roll.
The Toronto Maple Leafs forward scored two goals in a span of exactly three minutes against the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday, one night after potting a hat trick in a win over the Dallas Stars.
He threw one in off Sabres goaltender Robin Lehner from below the goal line to open the scoring Thursday night.
When you're hot, you're hot. @JVReemer21 had a hat trick last night. He has two already in the first period tonight. #TORvsBUF pic.twitter.com/VKAx0bueoH

One hundred and eighty seconds later, he ripped a wrist shot past Lehner to set a new career high with his 31st goal of the season.
Yeah @JVReemer21 just can't miss right now. Five goals in the last two nights. pic.twitter.com/JtILYoBCE5
