After losing Victor Mete to the waiver wire and acquiring Erik Gustaffson by trade earlier in the afternoon, the Montreal Canadiens took on the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Bell Centre Monday night in their first game after the trade deadline. Though they gave up a 2-0 lead and couldn’t keep Auston Matthews off the board, a pair of goals from Tomas Tatar, 23 saves from Jake Allen, and an overall strong game from the Habs ultimately lifted them to a 4-2 victory over their divisional rival.
Tatar set the tone for the evening and gave the Habs the energy they’ve been missing since Brendan Gallagher’s injury a little over a minute into the game by sending his ninth of the season past Jack Campbell, the Toronto netminder who would go on to see his historic win streak end at 11 games.
