Newhook, Fowler lead Canadiens over Maple Leafs

Alex Newhook scored twice in the first period and goaltender Jacob Fowler stopped 26 shots to guide the Montreal Canadiens to a 4-2 road victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. Chris Kreider and Zachary Bolduc also scored for Montreal, which improved to 11-3-3 on the season and secured its seventh win in eight games.

Toronto replied with third-period goals from William Nylander and rookie Gavin McKenna within a 55-second span, but Bolduc answered on a power play to seal Montreal's win. Sergei Bobrovsky made 24 saves for the Maple Leafs, who lost veteran defenseman Morgan Rielly to a lower-body injury after the first period.
