MONTREAL — Sheldon Keefe thought the players on his top line 'weren’t very good' on Saturday night.

The Toronto Maple Leafs pulled out two points anyway, defeating the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 at a raucous Bell Centre thanks to some depth players stepping up — including Bobby McMann.

"I just thought he played an outstanding game with lots of confidence,” Keefe said. “He was just strong, hard on the puck, lots of urgency to his game. I thought their team had a hard time handling him. It was a really good showing for him." “Some great moments of really good goals at key times,” Keefe said. “Otherwise, we just stayed with it. Thought we got some saves from Sammy, battled real hard."

Fans of both teams showed out in full force, with competing “Go Leafs Go!” and “Go Habs Go!” chants throughout the evening. "Perhaps my favourite part of the game is our penalty kill gives one up again, which evens the game, and then it's tested with the game on the line and had to come through in that moment, and it did,” Keefe said.

Domi gave Toronto the lead with 1:19 left in the period. Jarnkrok floated a pass from the defensive zone that found Domi streaking through the neutral zone before the former Hab scored his eighth.
