Maple Leafs Win 4-1 Over Canadiens

The Toronto Maple Leafs secured a convincing 4-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens, marking their third consecutive win and extending their home winning streak against Montreal to nine games, equaling a franchise record. Key contributions came from Mitch Marner, William Nylander, John Tavares, and Conor Timmins, while goaltender Joseph Woll made 20 saves. Despite the win, the Leafs are still without captain Auston Matthews, who is on injured reserve due to an upper-body injury. In contrast, the Canadiens continued their struggles, suffering their sixth straight defeat and now holding a disappointing 4-9-2 record. The Leafs are focused on maintaining momentum as they prepare for their next game against the Ottawa Senators, with the team showing depth and resilience in Matthews' absence. Coach Craig Berube noted that the Leafs are adapting well to his system, demonstrating their capability to dominate weaker opponents like the Canadiens.
