The Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Montreal Canadiens 2-1 in a physical pre-season matchup at Centre Bell. Nicholas Robertson scored twice for the Leafs, while Kirby Dach notched the lone goal for Montreal late in the third period.
MONTREAL — The Toronto Maple Leafs have won both NHL pre-season games against the Montreal Canadiens , bringing home a physical 2-1 win on Saturday evening at the Centre Bell.
The injury sparked retaliation from Arber Xhekaj whose actions earned him a game misconduct, leaving the Canadiens with a seven-minute penalty to kill. Montreal started the second period with renewed enthusiasm, committing more to the forecheck. However, rivalry and animosity grabbed the spotlight as the period was littered with scrums after nearly every whistle and two fights, leading to 73 penalty minutes between both teams by the end of the second frame.
