This time, the Dallas Stars couldn't erase a two-goal deficit.
Joffrey Lupul scored twice, James Reimer made 43 saves in net, and Nazem Kadri was nominated for an Oscar as the Stars dropped a 3-1 decision to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Dallas controlled play for most of the game, outshooting the Leafs by a hefty 44-26 margin, but just couldn't crack Reimer, who was spectacular. Jamie Benn had the lone Stars goal. Throw in some bad bounces, some questionable penalties and a few hit posts and tonight definitely wasn't their night.
The Leafs, who were 1-7-2 coming into the game, had been routinely putting up good possession numbers but getting awful goaltending, so the argument could be made that the team was "due" for a win.
