TSN Toronto Reporter Mark Masters reports on the Maple Leafs, who practised at the Ford Performance Centre on Friday ahead of Saturday night’s game against the Montreal Canadiens.
With the score tied early in the third period on Wednesday, Leafs defenceman Justin Holl received a pass from John Tavares in the Montreal zone. William Nylander was open with his stick up and ready to one-time a pass. Holl noticed the winger out of the corner of his eye, but decided to try his own shot on Carey Price.
"It was unbelievable," Nylander said with a laugh. "He can do that every time if he uncorks [it] like that."
The goal was Holl's first since Feb. 27, 2020 although that one was an empty netter. So, this was the first time he beat a goalie since Nov. 13, 2019.
