Patrick Marleau scored, and Frederik Andersen made 16 saves for the Maple Leafs (8-5-0), who are 2-4-0 in their past six games.
“I thought it was a pretty good hockey game,” Toronto coach Mike Babcock said. “I thought our team was engaged, I thought we worked hard, I thought we started good. In the end, you’ve got to score. What I liked about us is we didn’t lose our focus, we didn’t start running around the rink, we kind of stayed with it. I don’t think they gave up very much until the end and I don’t think we gave up very much. In the end, we’ve got to find a way to win the game.”
Dallas coach Jim Montgomery said he was impressed with how Khudobin played despite 16 days between games.
“It was incredible. He’s such a great teammate. He brings energy every day and puts a smile on everyone’s face,” Montgomery said. “With Ben Bishop playing so well, it’s been hard to get him in as many games as we’d like, but it’s great for his confidence and great for the team morale with how well he played. It shows we have two great goalies.”
