And in the end, the Canadiens delivered exactly the kind of finish that night…

The Canadiens killed two birds with one stone Saturday night. Split into two squads for a preseason doubleheader against the Maple Leafs, Montreal sent one lineup to Toronto and kept another at home — and both of them won.
