The Toronto Maple Leafs staged a stunning comeback from a 3-0 deficit to secure a 7-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night. Early in the game, Montreal dominated, scoring three goals in the first period, including a power-play goal by Patrik Laine. However, Toronto responded emphatically, with seven unanswered goals from players including Bobby McMann, Nicholas Robertson, and Auston Matthews, showcasing their resilience and offensive firepower.

The key moment came when Christian Dvorak hit the post for Montreal, which quickly led to a goal by McMann, igniting the Maple Leafs' comeback in the second period.

Craig Berube's decision to promote Steven Lorentz to the Toronto Maple Leafs' top line paid off initially, as Lorentz assisted Auston Matthews for his 15th goal this season and helped Mitch Marner reach his 46th assist, maintaining his spot among the league's top scorers. The Maple Leafs, however, couldn't maintain their momentum and suffered a 4-1 defeat against the Dallas Stars, marking their third consecutive loss.

Despite a promising start, the Leafs allowed the Stars to regain control of the game, with Logan Stankoven scoring two goals, including one while John Tavares was in the penalty box. The loss dropped Joseph Woll's record to 14-8, while Stars' goaltender Jake Oettinger shined with 27 saves.
