Canadiens: The club has been outscored 29-12 during its losing streak.
KEY MOMENT
With the Leafs killing a penalty up 2-0 in the second period, David Kampf appeared to run out of room off the rush before feeding Marner in front for the winger to bury his fourth goal of the season.
KEY STAT
Toronto picked up a ninth straight regular-season home victory over Montreal dating back to April 7, 2021, to match the longest home win streak between the clubs. The Canadiens topped the Leafs three times in the 2021 playoffs at Scotiabank Arena on the way to erasing a 3-1 series deficit and winning in seven games.
