The Toronto Maple Leafs lost 3-1 to the Montreal Canadiens, extending their winless streak to eight games. The team conceded two goals in the first period, establishing a deficit they could not overcome. Head coach Craig Berube attributed the struggles to defensive breakdowns during critical stretches, where opponents score multiple goals in short periods. The Leafs have scored only three goals across two recent losses. Berube emphasized the need for improved defensive discipline and more aggressive offensive play. Bo Groulx, called up from the Toronto Marlies, showed promise in his season debut with several strong plays and scoring chances.
