Montreal has a young team that had a losing road record last year. The defense was 22nd in goals allowed and 20th in save percentage. Talented and deep, Toronto was 27-13-1 at home last season and won the division. Captain Auston Matthews says he's healthy after an injury-plagued campaign, leading an offense that was seventh in goals scored (3.26 per game). The defense was eighth in goals given up and third in save percentage (.912). The Maple Leafs are 8-1-1 in the last 10 against the Canadiens, with five wins by more than one goal. Play Toronto on the puckline.
