The win was Toronto's first of the season and the 2,500th in thehistory of the club.


Defenseman Mathieu Dandenault, who was playing at right wing ona line with Bryan Smolinski and Steve Begin, got the scoringstarted in the battle of the "Original Six" clubs, knocking in aloose puck that bounced around on the doorstep at 2:43 of thefirst period.


Toronto drew even less than two minutes later as blue-liner IanWhite blasted a slap shot from the top of the right circle justinside the left goalpost at 4:34 for his first goal of theseason.


With the Maple Leafs on the power play six minutes into themiddle session, Chris Higgins completed a pass from the leftcorner to defenseman Andrei Markov, who beat goaltender VesaToskala high to the glove side with a wrist shot from the slotfor a shorthanded tally and a 2-1 edge for the Canadiens.

Andrei Kostitsyn increased the advantage with 3:27 remaining inthe second, but Huet made a costly error less than 2 1/2 minuteslater to allow Toronto to close the gap.

Kaberle received a return pass and fired the puck between thepads of goaltender Cristobal Huet from above the left faceoffcircle for the victory.


"It was nice to score on the power play," Kaberle said. "Wemoved the puck around well. We've played good the first twogames, but I'm glad we got the win and I'm glad I couldcontribute."


"I'm glad we scored a power-play goal," Maple Leafs coach PaulMaurice said. "Sure, we missed a couple, but we scored theright one."


The win was Toronto's first of the season and the 2,500th in thehistory of the club.


"The Leafs were hungry tonight," Montreal captain Saku Koivusaid. "Things happen. It doesn't matter what time or what partof the season you play these guys, it's going to be tough."

Defenseman Mathieu Dandenault, who was playing at right wing ona line with Bryan Smolinski and Steve Begin, got the scoringstarted in the battle of the "Original Six" clubs, knocking in aloose puck that bounced around on the doorstep at 2:43 of thefirst period.

"The line was clicking," Ponikarovsky said. "It worked for usthis game and we'll see what's going to happen. Every guy onour team is skilled, we have great skill in this dressing room.It doesn't matter who you're playing with."


Another turnover early in the third resulted in another tally byToronto. Markov coughed up the puck in the right circle toSundin, who set up Ponikarovsky in the slot for his second goalof the game at 2:55, knotting the contest.


Toronto, which went 1-for-5 on the power play, was playing itsthird game in four nights.


"It's very difficult to be crisp when you're tired," Mauricesaid.
