Newly acquired O'Reilly picks up assist in Maple Leafs debut as Toronto defeats Montreal

Michael Bunting scored twice as the Maple Leafs defeated the visiting Montreal Canadiens 5-1 on Saturday night in the Toronto debuts for Ryan O'Reilly and Noel Acciari.

Pierre Engvall, with a goal and an assist, William Nylander and David Kampf had the other goals for Toronto (34-14-8). Joseph Woll made 29 saves. Auston Matthews and Rasmus Sandin each picked up two assists.

Josh Anderson replied for rebuilding Montreal (23-29-4), which got 34 stops from Jake Allen.

Down 1-0 in the second period, Bunting took a pass from Matthews on a power play and scored his 17th before Engvall made it 2-1 when he fired a shot Allen could only get a piece of for his 12th.

Bunting added his second of the night with 1:40 left in the period off a Calle Jarnkrok feed that saw O'Reilly pick up the second assist.

That was fowl!!
