Toffoli now has the longest point streak in the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs, at eight games and counting, thanks to his goal in Game 2 of Montreal's third-round playoff series against the Vegas Golden Knights. He's also one point away from tying the Canadiens' playoff record for longest point streak.
Of course, Toffoli's contribution to his team tonight was not limited to offence. He also helped break up what would have been a good scoring chance for Golden Knights captain Mark Stone near the side of the net late in the third period, diving to the ice to break up a cross-ice pass from the top of the face-off circle to keep Montreal's one-goal lead.
Thanks to his efforts, the Habs ultimately would hold on in Game 2, emerging from the scorching Nevada heat with a 3-2 victory to tie the series at 1-1 apiece. Game 3 will be at Bell Centre on Friday night starting at 8:00 PM EST.
