MONTREAL (AP) — Mitch Marner had a goal and three assists and the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Montreal Canadiens 5-3 on Wednesday night to improve to 5-1-0 in exhibition play.

Nazem Kadri, Auston Matthews, Kasperi Kapanen and Patrick Marleau also scored, and Frederik Andersen made 33 saves.

Tomas Tatar, Brendan Gallagher and David Schlemko scored for Montreal, and Carey Price stopped 20 shots.

Toronto scored short-handed goals 20 seconds apart early in the third period to take a 4-2 lead. Marner got the first 16 seconds into the period after bad communication between Price and Jeff Petry led to a loose puck in front of the net and an easy tap-in. Kapanen connected on a 2-on-1 break with Par Lindholm.
