Rookies providing Leafs with optimism ahead of clash with Bruins

When the Toronto Maple Leafs needed a big play or big saves in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday, two rookies showed out and sent the proceedings back home. Matthew Knies scored early in overtime and Joseph Woll made 27 saves in a 2-1 win for the Maple Leafs, who now look to turn the tables and push visiting Boston to the brink of elimination when the teams meet for Game 6 on Thursday. Boston still leads the best-of-seven series 3-2.
