Montreal Canadiens look to continue success against Toronto Maple Leafs
The visiting Montreal Canadiens will try to defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs for the third time in three meetings this season on Saturday night.
The Canadiens had their three-game winning streak end Thursday night when they opened a four-game road trip with a 6-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh, N.C. In his return to the lineup, Matthews also blocked two shots, had a take-away to set up a goal by Conor Timmins and won 12 of 17 faceoffs.
“Nothing really changes, just want to be hard on pucks and compete,” Matthews said. “Willy’s been all over it, the consistency factor has been really good this year. It’s a treat to play with him.”
