""I think over the last two games, a lot of better things in our game. But in the end, you're not getting rewarded for it, and that's the frustrating part. It's tough when you're in a stretch like this to stay positive and just continue to grind it out, but that's all we can do right now.

""He made big saves," Matthews said. "We had some good looks to get opportunities tonight and he made some big saves, that's why he's one of the best goalies in the world. Sometimes you gotta tip your cap. But definitely thought we deserved better ... I thought we created some good offence. We've been talking about getting outshot, went the other way for us tonight.""
The Maple Leafs extended a losing skid despite a competitive performance that kept the game tight against a top opponent. Toronto outshot Dallas 28-22 but lost as Jake Oettinger delivered key saves. The team has scored four goals across its last three games, and the captain has one goal and one assist in his last five outings. Players are focusing on staying positive, picking each other up, and continuing to grind through the stretch while expecting better breaks and puck luck in upcoming games.
