One of the Bruins' strengths all season has been the outstanding goaltending from their tandem of Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark. At the beginning of the Stanley Cup playoffs, Boston head coach Jim Montgomery kept the rotation that earned the Bruins the second seed in the Atlantic Division but Swayman's exceptional play more or less forced the second-year coach to ride the hot goalie. In seven starts, Swayman has posted a .955 save percentage and a 1.42 goals-against average by stopping 210 of 220 shots he's faced, which is top of the league in the postseason.
The Bruins need to make improvements in these four areas to bounce back in Game 3 and beat the Leafs.
Max Domi held the puck inside the Toronto defensive zone, waiting for Auston Matthews to make his move. Like a quarterback spotting an open receiver, Domi sent the puck sailing over the neutral zone and hit Matthews in stride. In one motion, the NHL's goal-scoring leader gloved the puck with his left hand and dropped it in front of his stick, then skated in on Bruins goalie Linus Ullmark and beat him to snap a third-period tie.
