Leafs Overcome 3-0 Deficit to Defeat Canadiens 7-3 in Thrilling Comeback

Montreal: Wow, what a game! The Toronto Maple Leafs pulled off an incredible comeback against the Montreal Canadiens. They were down 3-0 after the first period. It looked bleak for them. But then, they turned it around completely.

Bobby McMann kicked things off in the second period. Nicholas Robertson followed him up, and suddenly, the Leafs were back in it. Then, just 24 seconds into the third, William Nylander scored on a breakaway. That was the spark they needed!

The goals kept coming. Oliver Ekman-Larsson scored on a power play, and Auston Matthews added a short-handed goal. It was like a floodgate opened. They scored five goals in just 18 minutes!

Montreal had their chances too. Kirby Dach, Patrik Laine, and Josh Anderson scored early, but they missed some key opportunities later. Shots hit the post, and Toronto’s goalie, Joseph Woll, made some great saves.

In the end, the Leafs took the win 7-3. They really showed resilience. Next up, they’ll face the Tampa Bay Lightning. Can’t wait to see how that goes!
