The Montreal Canadiens were the last Canadian team to hoist the Stanley Cup when they did so during the 1992-93 season. It's been an agonizingly long drought for the country that has seven teams in the league to go without winning the sport's most coveted prize.

With a new generation of the Battle of Ontario set to get underway, fans understand that there is little that connects the current Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators with the iteration of the provincial rivals that were regular playoff foes in the early 2000s.

Mitch Marner scored at 36 seconds of overtime to give the Toronto Maple Leafs a 1-0 victory over Montreal and prevent the Canadiens from wrapping up a wild-card playoff spot Saturday night.

Head coach Craig Berube told reporters at Friday's practice that Oliver Ekman-Larsson will miss Toronto's game against the Montreal Canadiens and that his status is day-to-day. Ekman-Larsson, 33, has played in all but one game for the Maple Leafs this season, recording 29 points (four goals and 25 assists) across 77 appearances.
