Mitch Marner scored the only goal of the shootout as the Toronto Maple Leafs fought back from 2-0 and 5-3 deficits to defeat the Montreal Canadiens 6-5 in a wild NHL regular-season opener for both teams Wednesday.
After the Leafs and Canadiens traded chances in the 3-on-3 extra period, Marner moved in on Jake Allen and fired upstairs on Toronto's third attempt before Ilya Samsonov stopped Kirby Dach at the other end to seal it.
Trailing 3-2 early in the third period after conceding that two-goal edge, the Canadiens got even at 4:25 on a power play when Caufield's shot hit the stick of defenceman T.J. Brodie. But Matthews scored his second of the night with 4:32 left in regulation with Samsonov on the bench when he beat Allen from a tough angle before completing the hat trick with 1:07 remaining on the clock to send Scotiabank Arena into a frenzy.
Nylander hit the post before Matthews equalized, but found the scoresheet with 44.5 seconds left in the period when he blasted home a one-timer to give the Leafs their first lead. Expected to once again be in tough in an ultra-competitive division, Montreal went ahead 1-0 at 3:01 of the first when Brodie fell at the offensive blue line and Evans raced in alone on a breakaway.
"Absolutely not," Domi replied when asked if he was switching from No. 11."That's my old man's number."The 19-year-old's poise and confidence stood out during camp as he climbed the depth chart to earn a spot.
