When we last saw these two teams meet, it was May 31 in the Stanley Cup playoffs first round and it was a decisive Game 7.

And, well, it's also a re-match between one team (Montreal) that ended another team's (Toronto's) Stanley Cup dreams. So we look forward to having him with the group tonight.Just like the Canadiens and Maple Leafs started the 2021 season, they'll do so in 2021-22 - a match-up in their season openers. For not only preparing him to play next week, but also giving him the piece of mind that his body feels good and that he's ready to play the season. We'll get him in a game tonight, which I think will go a long way.

It appears to me Muzz is in a really good headspace that way. Really focused on just controlling what he can control in doing his thing on the ice, and we saw the results.

I think he came back come playoff time with a much clearer head. Last season obviously was a very important season for us, and I think he took on a lot of that. In terms of in what he provides on the leadership side, experience side, then what he can do on the ice for us. A lot of it is he knows and feels he's a very important player for our team, on and off the ice. He was really good at acknowledging that, and he had a lot going on in his head last year.

Muzzin mentioned earlier in the day how he was too hard on himself and it affected his play. Keefe when asked about Muzzin (ahead of his first game action) getting back to being himself after a tough year (multiple concussions).
