Toronto Maple Leafs vs Montréal Canadiens. A timeless matchup, the traditional opponents used to represent Canadian hockey.
The Canadiens have fallen on hard times after a miracle run to a loss in the Stanley Cup Finals, the Toronto Maple Leafs working their way back to respectability after being their first victims last playoff.
Petr Mrázek gets tested early by the Canadiens, offensively and physically when Rem Pitlick gets a turnover from the Leafs and breaks away towards the net, crashing into Mrázek.
The Canadiens come right back, and Josh Anderson pushes TJ Brodie out of his way in front of the net, gets a rebound off Mrázek and puts the Canadiens up 1-0 early in the game.
