Canadiens eye division lead, face rival Maple Leafs

Feb 7, 2008 - 1:20 PM Toronto (21-25-9) at Montreal (29-16-9) 7:00 pm EST

MONTREAL (Ticker) - The Montreal Canadiens have been chasing the Ottawa Senators in the Northeast Division for most of the season. On Thursday, they can change that.

Sitting just one point back in the division race, the Canadiens have a chance to take over the top spot when they host the rival Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Canadiens, who are 5-1-1 over their previous seven contests, win claim first place if they win and the Senators lose to the Florida Panthers on Thursday.

Tomas Plekanec scored two goals and set up another as Montreal held off the Senators for a 4-3 victory Tuesday.

The Maple Leafs try to bounce back from an embarrassing 8-0 loss to the Panthers on Tuesday. It was Toronto's most lopsided loss of the season and the club's fourth defeat in five games.

Captain Mats Sundin, whose name continues to float around in trade rumors, leads the club with 22 goals and 56 points.
