The Leafs score seven unanswered goals to win against the CH.

Saturday night.

What could be better than a Canadiens-Leafs duel?

Here are the lineups:

Montreal did not allow the Leafs to impose themselves in the first period.

Martin St-Louis’s team scored three goals in the first twenty minutes, including two in nine seconds at the end of the period.

First, with a delay of game penalty, Kirby Dach scored his ninth goal of the season.

On a power play later, Patrik Laine scored from his office.

And exactly nine seconds later, Josh Anderson took on Superman and scored a beautiful goal.

He served a nice cup of coffee to Max Domi, the guy he was traded for.

At the end of the period, Arber Xhekaj refused an invitation from Ryan Reaves and at the beginning of the next period, he delivered a big check to him.

Check this out:

Moments later, Toronto finally showed signs of life.

After a missed shot by Christian Dvorak, Bobby McMann took advantage to cut the deficit.

With just over a minute to go in the second period, the gap was reduced even further.

Nick Robertson redirected a pass from Oliver Ekman-Larsson on the power play.

The CH took their foot off the gas and what was bound to happen happened: Toronto tied the game.

From the very first seconds, William Nylander made Lane Hutson and Samuel Montembeault look foolish.

And a few minutes later, the visitors took the lead for the first time in the match.

Still on the power play, a shot from the point bested Monty.

Auston Matthews dealt a serious blow to Montreal with a shot from the high slot.

The Quebecois should have stopped that shot without any traffic.

Final Score: 7-3 Toronto, who added a sixth and seventh unanswered goal.

Montreal will return to action tomorrow against the Rangers at the Bell Centre.

Overtime

– A tough game for Lane Hutson. He received a penalty after being served a cup of coffee, which led to the Leafs’ second goal. And he was beaten for speed on the tying goal. That can happen, though. He finished the game at minus-5.

– It was tough for the goalie too. Six goals allowed on 33 shots. Here’s hoping for Jakub Dobes’s departure tomorrow.

– The CH was not opportunistic, especially during the last two periods. It’s a painful loss, but the team can recover tomorrow.

– Oh really.

– Haha.

– A trade was close.
