Toronto, Ontario - The Toronto Maple Leafs took care of the rival Montreal Canadiens 3-2, extending their NHL winning streak to five games.

The Leafs' performance did their recent record justice.

Toronto goalie Jack Campbell (29) became the franchise leader with 10-straight victories in net for the Leafs, as Auston Matthews (23) scored another goal to make it 28 in total, the league's highest so far.

Matthews also racked up an assist and so did Zach Hyman, who completed the scoring alongside T.J. Brodie. It was the 30-year-old former Calgary Flames star's first goal in Maples colors.
