Montreal at Toronto

Toronto will make another bid to win a championship for the first time since 1967 and will be without its star center Auston Matthews, out with a wrist injury. However, Montreal will be without its starting goaltender, Carey Price, who is out for at least 30 days for personal reasons. Price is the one that played so tremendously as the Canadiens went deep into the playoffs before losing to Tampa Bay in the finals. Montreal also lost defenseman Shea Weber for the season due to injuries. The Leafs are in a revenge situation as they blew a 3-1 lead to the Canadiens in the first round. Jack Campbell takes over as the starting goalie after he went 17-3-2 with a 2.15 goals-against average and .921 save percentage. Jake Allen will replace Price in net for Montreal and he was 2-3 against Toronto last season. Take the Maple Leafs to open strong.
