Catch Up:
This game could have been another collapse for the Maple Leafs after a solid effort, as they gave up a pair of goals — late in the second and early in the third — to fall behind.
This time, they managed to push back in the third period, with a winner from a sharp angle by Jake Gardiner, giving them a second win against Dallas in November.
Dallas won the possession battle, after pulling ahead late in the second period, in the lead-up to their two goals. That was reflected in the chances as well, while the Leafs were able to win the other periods, and were even at ES Close. Dallas won the neutral zone overall, but the two teams were relatively close in terms of controlled entry.

You can see that Dallas had the better of the chances leading into their goal late in the second, but Toronto responded well to falling behind, out-chancing the Stars 5-1 in the last ten minutes of the game.

Peter Holland came back into the line-up, with Daniel Winnik out, and his line was excellent, as he, Byron Froese and Brad Boyes had the best chance differential among the forwards. They mostly avoided the Benn line, but were effective against the other forwards that they faced.
The top line again finished in the positive in chances, and had very impressive neutral zone results, generating a lot of controlled entries, the only Leaf line above 50% in that category.
Roman Polak and Scott Harrington continue to have some success as the third pairing, as the Leafs have had a solid advantage with them on the ice in the last couple of games. They have avoided playing against the top lines, and gotten relatively safe zone starts, but have had good performances in that context.
Matt Hunwick and Morgan Rielly were mostly matched against the Benn line for the Stars, and managed to mostly hold their own in chances, despite their Corsi number against that line being poor.
