Game 21: Montreal Canadiens vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Start time: 7:00 PM EST / 4:00 PM PST In Canada: CBC, Sportsnet E/O/P (English), TVA Sports (French) Streaming: CBC Gem, ESPN+ For the first time this season, the Montreal Canadiens’ skaters seemed to get demoralized by their goaltending on Thursday night.
