Texier Nets Shootout Winner as Canadiens Edge Maple Leafs 2-1

Overview

  • Cole Caufield scored on the power play and extended his point streak to 10 games before adding a shootout tally.
  • Dennis Hildeby made 33 saves in a spot start after Joseph Woll was placed on injured reserve earlier in the day.
  • Scott Laughton tied it in the third with a short-handed breakaway at 10:28, forcing overtime after a 1-0 deficit.
  • Alexandre Texier converted the decisive shootout attempt and Dobes denied John Tavares to secure the win.
  • Head coach Craig Berube said Woll is expected to miss about a week, as Toronto’s three-game win streak ended and Morgan Rielly marked his 900th NHL game.
