The Toronto Maple Leafs have a 2-1 lead over the Montreal Canadiens after the second period of Game 3. 

Morgan Rielly got his first of the series off a Mitch Marner pass to give the Leafs the lead late in the second period. 

William Nylander opened the scoring with his third goal of the playoffs at 7:18 with an assist from Alexander Kerfoot. 

Nick Suzuki responded for the Habs at 13:56. Corey Perry and Tomas Tatar picked up the assists. 

The Habs killed off a high-sticking penalty on Perry early in the second.

The team also announced that forward Artturi Lehkonen wouldn’t return for the night after the first intermission. 

The best-of-seven series is tied 1-1.
