After failing to register a single shot attempt in his previous two games, Alex Galchenyuk exploded for a three-point night in Game 4 en route to a 4-0 Leafs victory over the Canadiens.
We’ll dive into his individual performance in more detail shortly, but this was definitely The Galchenyuk Game that we’ll be referring back to when we think about this series years from now. The rest of Toronto’s depth also played a key role in securing the victory, keeping the puck 200-feet away from Jack Campbell for large portions of the game.
When the Leafs were forced to defend in their own end, they looked structured as a five-man unit, clogging up the passing lanes and preventing the Canadiens from generating dangerous chances offensively.
