(Agencies)
Updated: 2008-12-24 16:49 TORONTO - The Toronto Maple Leafs surrendered a season-high eight goals in an 8-2 rout at the hands of the Dallas Stars in their final game before the NHL's Christmas break on Tuesday.
James Neal scored a hat-trick for the Stars, who have now won three of their last four games and are threatening to climb out of the Pacific division cellar. Steve Ott, Fabian Brunnstrom, Brad Richards, Krystopfer Barch and Mike Ribeiro also scored for the Stars while Jason Blake and Mikhail Grabovski answered for the Maple Leafs. It was a bitterly disappointing result for the Leafs, who had won five of their previous six games. |
