When the Dallas Stars entered Wednesday night’s game in Toronto, it was clear that they would have been happy with taking one point from the contest.
The Maple Leafs are currently one of the best teams in the NHL and are on a serious tear at home. Meanwhile, the Stars were running on short rest after playing in Montreal the night before. On top of that, Dallas was struggling with finding offensive pressure or overall consistency and had dropped four of their previous five contests.
So yeah, one point would have been considered a great success for a Stars team that was limping along in the homestretch.
