The Maple Leafs defeated the Montreal Canadiens 5-2 last night, scoring four of those goals in the first period alone, which was not a fun time for Habs goalie prospect Cayden Primeau who was pulled from the net and then sulked in the hallway for a while.
The game was certainly setting the tone for a likely first round playoff match-up which will start in about two weeks, the tone being the Leafs score a lot and win easily.
Here’s our recap of the game.
Auston Matthews scored up his 40th goal of the season, a significant milestone for any player in a regular season, never mind a greatly shortened one like this, and one where he has played at times with a wrist injury.
