The clubs will head to Toronto for a Wednesday night date deadlocked at a game apiece in their best-of-seven first-round Stanley Cup playoff series. On the winner, Matthews collected a sky-high feed from Max Domi, and with a step on Charlie McAvoy, settled it with his glove, and raced in on Ullmark. The strike snapped a six-game postseason drought for Matthews and marked the first time the Leafs held a lead over the Bruins in six meetings this season, totaling nearly 227 minutes and 56 seconds. Bouncing back from adversity has been a hallmark of this Bruins club and they'll get another chance to show their resiliency in one of the NHL's toughest environs.
Pavel Zacha set up a David Pastrnak goal in Bruins-Leafs Game 2 with a phenomenal no-look pass.
Here are three Bruins who could dole out plenty of damage in the first round. This one was going to be a given regardless of Boston's first-round foe, given Pastrnak's crucial role as the Bruins' most dynamic offensive conduit. In 28 regular-season meetings with Toronto, Pastrnak has tallied 36 points (19 goals, 17 assists) to go along with 19 points (7 goals, 12 assists) over 14 playoff games against the Leafs.
