Lars Eller has been an absolute beast tonight. The whole team has been good so it’s tough to just call one guy the difference, but Eller has been everywhere. Dominant in 3:18 on the PK, and he’s put up an 80% Fenwick at even strength, including factoring into all three Habs goals. I’m not entirely sure why the NHL is calling Gallagher’s goal his, but damn. Montreal’s 81 has been better than Toronto’s 81.
The Canadiens held the Maple Leafs to ONE shot in the second period. One.
