Mitch Marner extended his points streak to 20 games with an assist on John Tavares' winner as Toronto shut down Dallas 4-0.

Matthews took possession after his wrist shot was stopped and circled back into the slot to score at 17:36.

Sandin collected a loose puck just outside the crease and scored at 12:19 of the second period for a 3-0 lead.

Kerfoot added an empty-net goal with 3:53 remaining.

Toronto played most of the game with only five defencemen. Victor Mete left with a lower-body injury after playing only 3:04 of the first period.

During part of Dallas' 5-on-3 late in the second, the Maple Leafs were further handcuffed when Marner had to give up a broken stick. He still managed to block a shot.

During Marner's streak, which began Oct. 27, he has nine goals and 18 assists.
