The Maple Leafs hosted the Dallas Stars tonight, in a game that was missing key players on both sides. Toronto beat Dallas 7-4 less than a month ago, in a game where both Morgan Rielly and Mitch Marner scored four points, while Auston Matthews and John Tavares netted two goals each.
Alex Radulov was out with a lower body injury, while Ben Bishop got the night off in favour of Anton Khudobin. On Toronto’s side, Justin Holl made his season debut next to Travis Dermott, and he was looking to score his third career goal in just his third career game.
