MONTREAL — Alex Galchenyuk had plenty of memorable nights inside the Bell Centre.
The former-Montreal-star-turned-journeyman's latest big performance in the venue — this time sporting blue and white — helped push his former team to the brink of elimination.
Galchenyuk set up Toronto's first two goals on terrific passes before sealing the victory into an empty net as the Maple Leafs defeated the Canadiens 4-0 to take a commanding 3-1 lead in their first-round playoff series.
The 27-year-old suited up 418 times in the regular season with Montreal, plus 27 more in the playoffs, after being selected third overall at the 2012 NHL draft.
