The Toronto Maple Leafs will aim to stay hot and tighten their hold on second place in the Atlantic Division when they host the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday.
The Maple Leafs (46-19-6, 98 points) are 6-0-1 in their past seven games and 9-2-1 in their past 12 after a 4-3 overtime win against the Dallas Stars on Thursday.
Thursday’s triumph included a historic moment as Auston Matthews scored his 55th goal to pass Rick Vaive (54) for most in a single season Maple Leafs history, while Matthews’ 56th goal, the overtime winner, is the most in a single season by a U.S.-born player in NHL history
Matthews has been on a tear since late November, scoring 49 goals in 49 games since then. On Saturday, he can reach the 50-in-50 mark against Montreal, with whom the legendary Maurice Richard became the first in NHL history to accomplish the feat.
Mitch Marner also continues to pile up the points, adding an assist to extend his point streak to 12 games. He has 27 points (eight goals, 19 assists) during that stretch, which includes nine multi-point games.
The Canadiens (20-40-11, 51 points) are looking to build off a 7-4 win against the New Jersey Devils on Thursday. While the Canadiens have cooled off after a hot start under interim coach Martin St. Louis — they’re 4-5-3 in their past 12 games — the team is still digging in each night.
Cole Caufield continues to flourish under St. Louis, adding another tally to his total against the Devils. Caufield has scored 16 of his 17 goals this season in 26 games since St. Louis took over.
Defenseman Jeff Petry is a possibility to return against the Maple Leafs, St. Louis said. He’s missed seven games with a lower-body injury. Goalie Carey Price practiced with the team on Friday but will not dress.
