The Maple Leafs held a limited media availability before travelling to Montreal on Sunday.
The Leafs struggled to draw penalties during the regular season finishing tied for 20th in power-play opportunities (2.8 per game). But Toronto has already been on the man advantage 10 times through two playoff games. Montreal has made it very clear that they want to be very physical, noted coach Sheldon Keefe following Saturday s win. I think the term they used was they want to make it a war. It s going to be a war out there, Canadiens winger Josh Anderson had promised before the series opened.

TSN Toronto Reporter Mark Masters reports on the Maple Leafs, who practised at Ford Performance Centre on Wednesday. Game 1 of Toronto s first-round playoff series against the Montreal Canadiens goes Thursday night at Scotiabank Arena.
Out since April 20 with a shoulder injury, Zach Bogosian is poised to return to the Leafs lineup on Thursday night. The outlook looks good. He got through another hard and competitive practice today, said head coach Sheldon Keefe. It is a nice addition for us. Frankly, we were unsure if he was going to be available for this series, but credit him for the work that he has put in to get himself ready.
