Game context
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens renew their Original Six rivalry in the 2026-27 NHL regular-season opener on September 29 at Scotiabank Arena, following split-squad preseason meetings on September 19. Montreal enters as the stronger side after posting 106 points and reaching the Eastern Conference Final in 2025-26, buoyed by a young core featuring Lane Hutson and strong goaltending depth. Toronto, coming off a last-place 78-point finish in the Atlantic, has added veteran goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky and retained defenseman Morgan Rielly while installing Jim Hiller as head coach and relying on Auston Matthews for offensive production. Key variables include early-season roster health, special-teams execution, and divisional positioning in an expanded 84-game schedule, with trader consensus reflecting Montreal’s recent edge in head-to-head results and overall form.
