Canadiens vs. Maple Leafs Top Six Minutes: Slafkovský starts to settle in

For our new readers and members, the Top Six Minutes is a continuation of the discussion in the game thread. We try to keep it light and entertaining. Full recaps are up the morning after every game.

Pre-game

  • It’s game five of the pre-season (or game one for those of us who were knocked off the grid by Fiona), and rosters are getting trimmed down.
  • Let’s see how Sean Monahan looks in his first game as a member of the home team at the Bell Centre.

First period

  • Early power play as Justin Barron gets his feet tangled up defending a rush, forcing Jonathan Drouin to make and emergency play
  • The much-maligned William Nylander converts on the power play.
