The Montreal Canadiens extended their losing streak to six games after a 4-1 defeat against the Toronto Maple Leafs. This loss leaves them tied for last place in the league standings alongside the San Jose Sharks and Anaheim Ducks.
Brendan Gallagher managed to score for the Canadiens, but the team's overall performance was lacking, with many forwards failing to contribute offensively. The Leafs capitalized on their power play opportunities, scoring twice, while the Canadiens struggled to generate shots on goal.
Former Canadiens player Max Pacioretty left the game with a leg injury, adding to Montreal's woes. The Canadiens' inability to score consistently has raised concerns among fans and analysts alike, particularly regarding the lack of production from key players.
