The Montreal Canadiens fell 7–2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs in preseason action, but there were still moments to build on. Florian Xhekaj kept pushing with his trademark grit, Ivan Demidov showed off dazzling skill with a highlight setup, and Patrik Laine reminded fans of his power-play potential. Sights and sounds from a night where future hopes clashed with preseason reality.
