Marleau helps Maple Leafs end skid with 3-1 win at Ducks
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Playing on the road against a quality opponent while trying to break out of a losing skid is just the kind of situation the Toronto Maple Leafs brought Patrick Marleau in for.
Marleau came through by scoring early in the third period and the Maple Leafs beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-1 Wednesday night to end a three-game losing streak. It was Marleau’s 100th career game-winning goal.
“Been around a while I guess,” Marleau said. “No, it’s pretty cool to say you got a hundred of those. Hope there’s a lot more where that came from.”
Connor Brown also scored and Frederik Andersen stopped 28 shots for the Maples Leafs, who had dropped four of their last five after starting the season 6-1-0.
