The Toronto Maple Leafs may not have a better, more profitable two-game road trip all season. That is, unless they sweep their way through Florida late next month.
After returning from the All-Star break with a massive win over the Nashville Predators, the Maple Leafs took down a superior Central Division foe Wednesday night, defeating the Dallas Stars 5-3.
There were five different scorers for the Maple Leafs — including Auston Matthews who counted No. 36 — while netminder Frederik Andersen was once again solid, making 31 saves for the victory.
Toronto will have two days to recover and adjust their sleep patterns from the one-hour time change before hosting the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night.
