Toronto already faces essentially a must-win situation as it lost Game 1 at home to Montreal, which had lost its final five games of the regular season, including two against the Maple Leafs. Jack Campbell stopped 28 shots, and is still 17-4-2 on the season and he'll be back in net tonight. Toronto will be without captain John Tavares, who suffered a head injury on Thursday and probably will be replaced by Nick Foligno. This means the Maple Leafs will be focused from the start and they are 20-7 their past 27 games after allowing two or fewer goals their previous game. The Canadiens still are only 3-8 the past 11 meetings at Toronto and they are 4-14 their past 18 games following a win. Montreal has gone OVER five of its past seven road games and four of its six overall. Take the Maple Leafs on the puck line and the OVER.
