Can the Canadiens revitalize Erik Gustafsson's offensive game?
Looking at Erik Gustafsson requires evaluating two different versions of the defenceman: the one who played for the Chicago Blackhawks when he showed himself to be a dominant offensive producer on the blue line, and the one in Philadelphia who struggled mightily defensively and lost his offensive swagger.

Canadiens vs. Maple Leafs game recap: Tomas Tatar's two goals lift Habs to victory
Montreal was quick to double their lead by taking advantage of their first power play of the night less than halfway through the first. With Zach Bogosian in the box for a high stick against Josh Anderson, Nick Suzuki was able to score his ninth of the season with a powerful wristshot that went in glove-side. Not only did the Canadiens have a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes of play but they completely dominated the Leafs in the opening frame, restricting them to just three shots on goal.
