Boston Bruins

Toronto didn't have its biggest scoring threat on the ice for a must-win matchup with Boston. But the Maple Leafs did just enough to put the Bruins' latest playoff lead in jeopardy. Matthew Knies scored less than three minutes into overtime off a feed from John Tavares and Toronto beat Boston 2-1 on Tuesday night to stave off elimination in their first-round playoff matchup...

Brad Marchand broke the Boston playoff goals record with his 56th and the Bruins beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-1 in Game 4 on Saturday night to move within a victory of advancing to the second round.

The Pats are on the clock in 8 hours and the Bruins have rode the hot hand halfway to a series win so why not keep it going?

Brad Marchand broke a tie midway through the third period and the Boston Bruins beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2 on Wednesday night to take a 2-1 lead in the first-round playoff series.

At this point, no one can say they didn't try the rotation, with each man getting a start in the first two and Swayman the overwhelming favorite to be in net for Game 3. But should the former Black Bear step up with another performance similar to what he had in Game 1, should the rotation meet an early end?

Auston Matthews had a goal and two assists and Domi also scored for Toronto, which snapped an eight-game losing streak against Boston over 534 days dating to November 2022. Ilya Samsonov stopped 27 shots and John Tavares also scored for the Maple Leafs, who haven’t beaten the Bruins in a playoff series since 1959.

The Bruins Lead the Series 1-0. Game 2 is Monday night in Boston before the series shifts to Toronto for Games 3 and 4.

It's set to be a busy weekend at the T.D. Garden with both the Bruins and Celtics beginning their postseason quests roughly 17 hours apart.

Jiri Smejkal scored his first career goal midway through the second period and Jakob Chychrun scored less than a minute later as the Ottawa Senators beat the Boston Bruins 3-1 on Tuesday night in the regular-season finale for both teams.

For the course of the regular season, only three teams have been better. But as was learned last year, when Boston was quite literally the greatest regular season team of all-time, none of that matters at this point on the calendar.
