The Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Montreal Canadiens in NHL preseason action on Thursday night. Nicholas Robertson and John Tavares scored for the Leafs as the second and fourth leading points-scorers from last season both tallied goals in the victory.
Robertson was also involved in a play he'd probably like to forget during the first period. After William Nylander turned the puck over in the Leafs' offensive end he got what was supposed to be a helpful push from Robertson as he tried to skate back on defense. Robertson stuck out his stick to help give his teammate a boost, but instead Nylander lost his balance and fell to the ice where he slid headfirst into the knee of an opponent.
