Canadiens and Leafs face off following the trade that send Ohlund and York to Toronto in exchange for Smith and Cooke. The players involved are still trying to fit in with their respective clubs. Smith scored a goal to tie the game 1-1 in the first period, and took a cross checking minor on Jarko Ruutu late in the third period. Smith was upset that Ruutu had not been called for a spear a few seconds earlier, and was issued a misconduct when he continually tried to get at Ruutu in the final minute of the game.
Cooke played 13 minutes of solid two way hockey, 3 shots on net and an even rating. Ohlund logged the most ice time of any leaf at 27 minutes but was unable to contribute offensively. Like wise York was on the ice for 17 minutes without providing any offense.

The Canadiens managed to salvage the game on a late goal by Keith Tkachuk. At least we didn't hit OT this time. A night off to rest a few tired players and right back at it against the red hot coyotes.
