For this one, the Leafs dressed very few of their veterans and instead let a lot of youngsters have a crack at solving Carey Price... And later, Zach Fucale, but hey. The league has a rule that teams have to dresss a minimum of 8 players who are vets/1st round picks, and this seemed like something close the minimum.
In the first period, the Leafs had some good chances on the power play, but wound up being out-chanced at even strength. The Habs took a 1-0 lead with the line of Nikita Soshnikov, William Nylander, and Mitch Marner running around in its own end, after a puck bounced into the slot and there was no one to pick up Habs' prospect Michael McCarron.
