The Toronto Maple Leafs scored seven unanswered goals to overcome a three-goal first-period deficit for a 7-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens.

MONTREAL -- Auston Matthews scored one of seven straight goals by the Toronto Maple Leafs in a come-from-behind 7-3 win against the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre on Saturday.

It's still too soon to be certain, but the Maple Leafs may be headed for a playoff showdown against either the Ottawa Senators or the Montreal Canadiens.

The Montreal Canadiens were hosting the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Bell Centre tonight and Martin St-Louis' men were ruthless, at the start of the game in any case.

As the clock ticked down to zero, a half-empty Centre Bell erupted into cheers as the leftover Toronto Maple Leafs supporters who made the trip to Montreal celebrated a memorable comeback.
