The Toronto Maple Leafs secured a narrow 2-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens, but not without concern for star forward William Nylander, who left the game after a head injury. Coach Craig Berube reassured fans that Nylander is expected to be fine.

John Tavares and Nick Robertson scored for Toronto, while Christian Dvorak netted Montreal's only goal. The Maple Leafs outshot the Canadiens significantly, and Matt Murray made his return in goal, stopping all seven shots he faced in the third period.
