MONTREAL — Jack Campbell stood in his crease and watched Carey Price make save after save through 40 minutes.
Toronto's goalie stayed focused and returned the favour — especially late — in a frantic final period to secure a precious victory.
Campbell made 28 saves, including all 15 shots he faced in the third, as the Maple Leafs hung on to beat the Montreal Canadiens 2-1 and take a 2-1 lead in their first-round playoff series Monday.
"All the credit in the world has to go to Jack Campbell," said Toronto defenceman Morgan Rielly, who solved Price on the winner in the second period.
