Game 62 - Montreal 4, Leafs 3 (OT) - Leafs survive poor start, but lose lead, fall in OT

Toronto again blew a late lead and lost in overtime at Montreal, after rallying from another poor opening period to get ahead.

Montreal had the first six chances of the game, and were rewarded with a pair of goals; once they had that lead, Toronto woke up, closing out the period with six chances of their own, including a goal from Van Riemsdyk, though a late Montreal rally threatened to restore the lead.

After the busy opening period, the second had very little action, just three chances between the two teams. Toronto then came alive somewhat in the third, getting a shorthanded goal from JVR, and another from Kessel, winning the period in chances. Unfortunately, a powerplay goal from Subban made the Leafs' lead shortlived, and they struggled in the overtime period, ending up on the penalty kill a couple of times, including for the winning goal.

Montreal won the ES chances 15-13, but Toronto won the game from the five minute mark of the first period on, 13-10. Toronto were badly beaten in ES close, though, 14-7.

Another strong performance from the big three, with JVR again leading the forwards at +2, and Kessel and Bozak also positive. Nik Kulemin also played well, on for 5 Leaf chances, and the only other Leaf forward who was positive. It was a bad night for Nazem Kadri, a game-worst -4, and McCement and Raymond were each -2.

Cody Franson was strong on the back end, the best of the corps at +2. Gardiner was the only other defender not in the negative, while Phaneuf was a -1 in 23 ES minutes. Rielly and Gunnarsson were the lowest, at -2.

A great game for Briere, on for just one Leaf chance and a game-high +6. Josh Gorges also did well, at +4, and Pacioretty and Subban were both +3. Gionta and Plekanec didn't have much of an impact offensively, and it showed, with both ending up at -3.

Toronto - James Van Riemsdyk, Cody Franson, Phil Kessel
Montreal - Daniel Briere, Josh Gorges, P.K. Subban

Players with poor chance numbers:
Toronto - Nazem Kadri, Carl Gunnarsson, Morgan Rielly
