The Maple Leafs entered this game against the Canadiens with a blue line that was already missing three key contributors. Jake Muzzin is working his way through a back issue and just resumed skating, Timothy Liljegren has already been ruled out for all of camp as well as the opening weeks of the season, and Rasmus Sandin continues to remain unsigned. After one period against the Habs, the Leafs lost two more depth pieces in Jordie Benn and Carl Dahlstrom. The former suffered a groin injury on his first shift of the game, and the latter going went with a shoulder injury after an awkward collision midway through the opening frame.
