Maple Leafs Stage Historic Comeback to Defeat Canadiens 7-3

Toronto scored seven unanswered goals after trailing 3-0 in the first period, marking only their third-ever comeback from such a deficit against Montreal.

The Toronto Maple Leafs overcame a 3-0 first-period deficit to defeat the Montreal Canadiens 7-3 on Saturday night in Montreal.
This marks only the third time in over a century of rivalry that Toronto has rallied from a 3-0 deficit to beat Montreal, with previous instances in 1919 and 1969.
Toronto's scoring surge included five goals in just 18 minutes across the second and third periods, with contributions from seven different players.
The Canadiens, who had been one of the league's hottest teams with an 8-1-1 record in their last 10 games, struggled with missed opportunities and penalties during the collapse.
Toronto's win maintains their narrow lead atop the Atlantic Division, while Montreal looks to recover quickly with a game against the New York Rangers on Sunday.
