MONTREAL – Shea Weber scored on a third-period power play as the Montreal Canadiens extended their winning streak to seven games with a 2-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night.
Alex Galchenyuk also scored for Montreal (8-0-1), the only NHL club without a regulation-time loss this season.

Nazem Kadri scored for the Leafs (2-3-3), who were coming off a 3-2 win Thursday over Florida. Toronto plays again Sunday night against the Islanders in New York. The Leafs outshot Montreal 37-31.
The Canadiens have owned the Leafs in recent seasons. It was their 11 straight victory over Toronto, which last beat Montreal on Jan. 18, 2014.
The Leafs had the better of the play for much of the first two periods but the Canadiens had the better scoring chances and got the only goal 2:06 into the second frame.
Alexander Radulov collected the puck behind the Toronto defence and fed the trailing Galchenyuk for a high shot into an open side that left no chance for Frederik Andersen.
