Montreal outshot Toronto 11-10 but the home team had almost twice as many on-target shots (7-4) in the contest.

“The opponent challenged us with their high press, particularly in the first half,” said Montreal head coach Robert Rositoiu. “In the second, the players were able to build out from the back more cleanly while staying very strong defensively.”
