TORONTO (AP) --- Cole Caufield scored in regulation and a shootout, Alexandre
Texier had the winner in the tiebreaker and the Montreal Canadiens beat the
Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1 on Saturday night.
Jakub Dobes made 22 saves to help Montreal improve to 15-9-3.
Scott Laughton scored for Toronto, and Dennis Hildeby stopped 33 shots. The
Maple Leafs dropped to 13-11-4. They had won three in a row.
Hildeby got the start after Joseph Woll joined Anthony Stolarz on injured
reserve earlier in the day. Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube said Woll will be
out "a week ... hopefully" after leaving a 5-1 victory in Carolina on Thursday
night after two periods because if a lower-body injury.
The Canadiens, who topped the Maple Leafs 5-2 at home Nov. 22 to open Toronto's
recent six-game trip, connected on their second man advantage at 8:25 of the
second period when Caufield slid his 15th goal of the season past Hildeby.
The Montreal winger extended his points streak to 10 games for the second
double-digit run of his career.
Laughton replied for Toronto on a short-handed breakaway with 9:32 left in the
third his third goal of the season and third in three games.
