Montreal Canadiens vs Toronto Maple Leafs Rookie Tournament Highlights

It was Charles Hudon‘s night, as the Habs beat the Toronto Maple Leafs prospects 6-4. Hudon had two goals, and a number of great rushes. On defence Ryan Johnston was a standout, demonstrating his mobility and offensive prowess. The best part of the game had to be Tim Bozon’s goal. It’s great to see him playing the game he loves.
