<p>The Toronto Maple Leafs hosted the &#8216;Hockey Talks!&#8217; mental health awareness night in collaboration with CAMHS tonight. They also hosted the Montreal Canadiens. With two Auston Matthews goals, the Leafs took the lead, lost it, and tied it up again&#8230;. But ultimately, it was the Habs who came away with the W.</p>
<p></p>

<ul>
<li>Starting in goal for the Maple Leafs is Frederik Andersen. Starting in goal for the Canadiens is Carey Price.</li>

<h2>BLUE WARRIOR</h2>
</p>
<p>Tonight&#8217;s Blue Warrior has to go to the lone Leafs goal scorer in tonight&#8217;s game, Auston Matthews. Matthews took control of the game tonight, scoring twice and getting a lot of breakout opportunities in front of the net. Andrew Berkshire, of Twitter fame, worked out tonight that Matthews only has 6 fewer goals than Connor McDavid in his career. That, and Matthews&#8217; 30th goal of the season, is quite frankly ridiculous.</p>

<h2>SHOUTOUT</h2>
</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s shoutout goes to the Maple Leafs organisation&#8217;s continuing work with <a href="http://mapleleafs.com/hockeytalks%20" target="_blank">CAMH and &#8216;Hockey Talks!&#8217;</a> The Leafs&#8217; ongoing work raising mental health awareness is five years strong this year. Players have filmed PSAs encouraging people to end the stigma surrounding mental health, worn helmet decals during games, and donated tickets to CAMH patients. The night and its message holds a special importance to a lot of people, myself included, and the Leafs being so heavily involved with CAMH and &#8216;Hockey Talks!&#8217; is something that desperately needs to be encouraged to continue.</p>
