Alex Newhook’s solid performance propelled the Montreal Canadiens to defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2 at the Scotiabank Arena on Saturday night. The 24-year-old centre scored a goal in the first period and later added an assist on a power-play marker. While he didn’t record points, his strength and physical presence added balance to the team’s overall play. In the second period, the Leafs took a penalty on a roughing call to Joshua, and Montreal took advantage. Toronto’s first goal was scored on a power play seven minutes into the middle frame, when Arber Xhekaj gave away the puck to Tavares, who cut the deficit to 2-1.
