Justin Holl had a goal and an assist as the Toronto Maple Leafs scored on three straight shots in a 4-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday in the opener of a split-squad doubleheader to kick off the NHL's pre-season schedule.
Alex Steeves, with two goals, and Denis Malgin also scored for Toronto. Mark Giordano added three assists. Erik Kallgren stopped seven shots over 40 minutes of work for the Leafs before making way for Dylan Ferguson in the third period.
Toronto regulars in the lineup for the 1 p.m. start at Scotiabank Arena included Mitch Marner, John Tavares and William Nylander. The teams were set to dress entirely different rosters for Saturday's 7 p.m. nightcap, with goaltender Ilya Samsonov poised to see his first action for the Leafs. Fellow netminder Matt Murray, acquired by Toronto from Ottawa in July, was given Saturday off.
The Nashville Predators and Florida Panthers have played three pre-season doubleheaders since 2011, and have another scheduled for Monday.
