The Maple Leafs are looking to make it three wins in a row while redeeming their season-opening loss to the Montreal Canadiens, who are mired in a five-game losing slump entering tonight’s HNIC matchup at the SBA (7:00 p.m. EST, Sportsnet/CBC).

I was thinking earlier that it is about time Timmins gets a goal. Who had bet the line on the Leafs first goal was Timmins from Benoit and Reaves?
Outrageous they didn’t give you an assist!
