In spite of Leaf coach Punch Imlach"s straightforward prediction that his team will win at least one game in Montreal, the betting fraternity favored Canadiens to repeat their Thursday night victory and take a 2-0 lead in games with them to Toronto for the next two games next Tuesday and Thursday. Canadiens coach Toe Blake, who has said predictions are "foolish", stayed clear of making them. Neither coach reports any injuries and the same lineups as in Thursday night's game were expected to dress tonight. The nationally televised game will start at 8:30 p.m. EST.
