Three years ago the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Montreal Canadiens 5-3 in the Air Canada Centre. James van Riemsdyk is the only Maple Leafs left from that game who scored. Phil Kessel, Joffrey Lupul, Mason Raymond, and Cody Franson were the other goal scorers. Jonathan Bernier was in goal for the Leafs. Dion Phaneuf was captain. Colton Orr was protecting the Leafs stars from the bench for 58 minutes per game.
That was the last time the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Montreal Canadiens. January 18th, 2014.
Tonight, we begin a new year. A new streak becomes set when the Toronto Maple Leafs defeat the Canadiens and begin a three year win streak of their own.
