Rough night for the line of van Riemsdyk, Kessel and Bozak for Toronto. They were each a minus-four on the night. JVR failed to register a shot on goal while Bozak and Kessel had just two each for Toronto.

Bozak was also not ready for a faceoff that led directly to a Montreal goal.

Dion Phaneuf didn't fare too much better and was a minus-three for Toronto tonight.

Canadiens 5, Maple Leafs 2 Final

Overall a sloppy game for Toronto. They gave up a goal when they weren't ready for a faceoff, failed to convert a penalty shot and gave up an empty net goal on a turnover when the goalie left the net too quickly.

Montreal played a smart road game, bottled up the Toronto offense for long stretches of time and earned a solid victory.

Carey Price was rarely tested with shots from in close, a good sign for the Habs defense.

Montreal also won the faceoff battle 54 percent to 46 percent led by Ryan White who won 5-of-7 draws.

Canadiens 5, Maple Leafs 2 Final Score

A very strong road game for Montreal as they beat Toronto for the first time this season in three games.

Montreal outshoots Toronto 40-23.

Strong game for Max Pacioretty who scored twice while David Desharnais had a pair of assists.

Maple Leafs will not be happy about a controversial faceoff drop before the game-winning goal in which Tyler Bozak claimed he was not ready for the dropping of the puck.
