The Montreal Canadiens faced elimination three times against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Carey Price made 30 saves and the Canadiens advanced to the second round by beating the Maple Leafs 3-1 in Game 7 on Monday night. "We played Game 5, Game 6 the same way — we had our backs to the wall," Canadiens coach Dominique Ducharme said. The Maple Leafs nearly tied it moments later when Price stopped Zach Hyman in tight before Auston Matthews ripped a shot off the post on a 2-on-1. INJURIESAlready without captain John Tavares (concussion, knee), the Maple Leafs also had to play without defenseman Jake Muzzin (suspected groin injury) after he left Saturday in the first period.
