It was a tale of two games on Saturday night, as the Toronto Maple Leafs scored seven unanswered goals for a 7-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre.

MONTREAL -- Auston Matthews scored one of seven straight goals by the Toronto Maple Leafs in a come-from-behind 7-3 win against the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre on Saturday.

The Canadiens entered the night 11-2-1 in their last 14 games. They also collected points in six consecutive games (5-0-1). So while a fall from such heights was inevitable, blowing a three-goal lead on Saturday night against the Leafs still stings. A test for the resurgent Habs will be how they rebound from the thrashing.

Many goalies simply have a longer development road than the skaters in front of them. By sending Hildeby back to the AHL for more reps at that level, they’re probably hoping he builds his confidence back up. It could prove to be an effective move for Hildeby’s long-term development.

On Saturday night, the Canadiens dominated the Leafs in the first period. Kirby Dach, Patrik Laine, and Josh Anderson scored, so the Habs had a 3-0 lead at one point during the first twenty minutes.

The Toronto Maple Leafs completed a big comeback on Saturday, beating the Montreal Canadiens 7-3 at Bell Centre. After being down 3-0 in the first period, the Leafs scored seven straight goals.

The Toronto Maple Leafs scored seven unanswered goals to overcome a 3-0 first-period deficit and then skated to a 7-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night. Bobby McMann, Nicholas Robertson, William Nylander, Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Steven Lorentz, Auston Matthews and David Kampf found the back of the net for Toronto (22-18-4).

The collapse was complete when Steven Lorentz was left all alone in front and he beat Montembeault to make it 6-3 Leafs. The Canadiens kept trying to claw their way back, but Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll did everything he could to protect the Leaf lead, including using the knob of his stick.
