Andersen back in the net for Leafs, but it’s a rough night with 3-2 loss to Dallas

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Frederik Andersen makes a save on Dallas Stars centre Andrew Cogliano as Leafs defenceman Jake Muzzin looks on during first period NHL hockey action in Toronto, on Feb. 13, 2020.Frederik Andersen was back in the net for the Maple Leafs on Thursday night. That is both good and bad news.

More went on off the ice than on it for the first 20 minutes. Players on both benches stood to acknowledge the 1,000th game of Stars winger Andrew Cogliano’s NHL career. Toronto newspaper columnist Christie Blatchford, who died of lung cancer on Wednesday, was remembered with a tribute during a timeout. A spectator, Hazel McCallion, was cheered on the occasion of her 99th birthday. An elderly couple smooched on the Kiss Cam on Valentine’s Eve.

“It was a spark for our club and everybody involved,” Jake Muzzin, the Toronto defenceman, said. “It was a big moment for us.”The goal, which came on a wrist shot, was Matthews’s 41st of the season and moved him into a tie for the NHL lead with David Pastrnak of Boston. The goal was only the 12th of the season for Seguin, and his first in 17 games. The six-time all-star had not scored since Dec. 28.

Jason Robertson, a 20-year-old forward, was given an assist on the goal by Seguin. Robertson was playing in his first NHL game.Cogliano had an assist on the Stars’ second goal in Game No. 1,000. As of Thursday, he has appeared in 1,000 out of a possible 1,007 regular-season games. The Toronto native is just one of 30 active players to reach the milestone, having accomplished it over 13 seasons with Edmonton, Anaheim and Dallas.
