Frederik Andersen made 33 saves for his second straight shutout, and the Toronto Maple Leafs extended their winning streak to six games with a 6-0 win against the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre on Saturday.
Auston Matthews scored two of Toronto’s four third-period goals in his return after missing four games with an upper-body injury.
“It feels good to be back,” Matthews said. “I didn’t feel too hot out there the first two periods, but I think it’s just all part of coming back and not playing in four games. So definitely some room for improvement, but obviously when you come into this building it’s not going to be easy, and a big win tonight, for sure.”
