The Toronto Maple Leafs have played the Montréal Canadiens 4,834 times over the last 867 years. The record is 2397 wins for Toronto, with 2345 for the Habs. The remainder is from the era when ties were allowed.
In exhibition play, the record is slightly tilted to the Canadiens on the 382 games that have been played that don’t count. One more will be added to that tally on July 28, inside the hub, as the two teams meet in a match that will be used to carefully calibrate how much swearing the on-ice mics pick up in Scotiabank Arena.
