After a poor showing against the Ottawa Senators prospects on Friday, the Canadiens rookies were back on the ice to face off with the Maple Leafs. Toronto was coming off a 6-5 overtime loss to the Senators on Saturday afternoon, so both squads were looking to end the tournament on a high note.
Montreal was without the services of Jake Evans, who is recovering in concussion protocol after a scary incident on Friday night. Getting the start in net would be second-year AHL netminder Michael McNiven, while Samuel Harvey served as his backup for the game.
