TORONTO -- The Montreal Canadiens held off the Toronto Maple Leafs for a badly needed 3-2 win via shootout Saturday night, ending a five-game winless stretch.
Max Pacioretty and Lars Eller scored for the Habs in the five-round shootout. Peter Holland had the lone Toronto success in the shootout which followed an action-packed overtime that saw both teams with chances to end it.
Toronto's Josh Leivo was penalized with 3:06 remaining in the third period for delay of the game when he took a swing at the puck with his stick and knocked it over the glass.
