Jakub Dobes made 22 saves to help Montreal improve to 15-9-3. Scott Laughton scored for Toronto, and Dennis Hildeby stopped 33 shots. The Maple Leafs dropped to 13-11-4. They had won three in a row. Hildeby got the start after Joseph Woll joined Anthony Stolarz on injured reserve earlier in the day. Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube said Woll will be out "a week ... hopefully" after leaving a 5-1 victory in Carolina on Thursday night after two periods because if a lower-body injury. The Canadiens, who topped the Maple Leafs 5-2 at home Nov. 22 to open Toronto's recent six-game trip, connected on their second man advantage at 8:25 of the second period when Caufield slid his 15th goal of the season past Hildeby. The Montreal winger extended his points streak to 10 games for the second double-digit run of his career. Laughton replied for Toronto on a short-handed breakaway with 9:32 left in the third his third goal of the season and third in three games.
