Toronto Maple Leafs beat Montreal Canadiens 4-1 with strong power play performance

The Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Montreal Canadiens 4-1 on Saturday, with two power-play goals. This win marks their third straight game scoring multiple power-play goals. Toronto’s power play, which struggled earlier in the season, has improved to 20.8% over the past four games. John Tavares mentioned the team’s persistence despite early struggles.

“The results hadn’t been going well and at the end of the day, that’s what matters most but there were lots of things underneath that, that we saw good trends and good things that were going well,” Tavares said (via NHL.com).

Mitch Marner and William Nylander each had a goal and an assist. Joseph Woll made 20 saves for the win.

Conor Timmins scored the first goal, ending a 31-game drought. Nylander added another power-play goal and Marner scored short-handed. Brendan Gallagher scored for Montreal on the power play, cutting Toronto's lead to 3-1. Tavares then sealed the win with another power-play goal.

Montreal’s losing streak stretched to six games. Despite a strong push in the third period, the Canadiens couldn’t break through Toronto’s defense, with Woll’s solid play keeping them in control.
