In an Original Six matchup, the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens will clash at Scotiabank Arena on Saturday night.
The two meet for the third time this season, having previously shared a pair of 5-2 victories. On Oct. 9, Toronto beat Montreal at home, and the Canadiens had their revenge on Nov. 22.
The defeat to Montreal served as a final wake-up call for the Maple Leafs. It was their seventh loss in eight games, but since then, Toronto has gone 4-1-0.
Craig Berube's men have won three consecutive road games in impressive fashion and will attempt to record their first four-game winning streak of the season on Saturday night.
The Canadiens have gone 3-2-0 since their last meeting with the Maple Leafs. Their top line with Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Juraj Slafkovsky has been the hottest in hockey recently, giving the team confidence that they can win any game.
Caufield currently holds the longest point steak in the league with nine games, Suzuki has scored at least one point in seven consecutive games, and Slafkovsky has a four-game point streak, scoring in three of the outings.

Our Montreal Canadiens vs Toronto Maple Leafs Prediction
The Maple Leafs have played their best hockey of the season lately, scoring 16 goals over a three-game winning streak. They have defeated the defending champions, the Florida Panthers, as well as two of the current top four teams in the Eastern Conference: Carolina and Pittsburgh.
However, keeping up the momentum might prove to be tough on Saturday night, as Toronto will likely have to play with its third-string goaltender Dennis Hildeby. The 24-year-old holds a 4-5-1 career record and has allowed 3.12 goals with a .896 save percentage. Hildeby will go up against a team that averages the sixth-most goals in the league (3.31) and has an impressive 26.4 percent power play.
Our prediction for Montreal Canadiens vs. Toronto Maple Leafs: Canadiens to win.
