Canadiens extend winning streak over Maple Leafs to 12 games
Jean-Yves Ahern / USA TODAY Sports
Ending a mini three-game slide, the Montreal Canadiens prolonged the misery for their storied rivals.
The Canadiens defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1 Saturday at Bell Centre, winning for the 12th consecutive time in head-to-head competition across parts of four seasons.
Carey Price, who's anchored nine of those 12 victories, stopped 31 shots for his league-leading 11th win. He's the second Canadiens goaltender to win 11 of his first 12 starts to begin a season, joining Charlie Hodge.
Toronto's last win versus Montreal came on Jan. 18, 2014. Price allowed four goals on 29 shots that night.
