(D2) Boston Bruins vs (D3) Toronto Maple Leafs

The Bruins enter tonight’s game in Toronto with a 3-2 series lead, but they failed to close out the series at home in game 5 on Tuesday. The Maple Leafs pulled off an incredible 2-1 win in overtime to keep their season alive and bring the series back to Toronto. It is important to note that the Bruins have a 2-0 record in Toronto during this series, so the Bruins could easily win tonight and advance to the second round. However, the Maple Leafs are carrying a lot of momentum into their home arena tonight because they just held the Bruins to their lowest scoring game all series. Before the 2-1 loss on Tuesday, the Bruins were averaging more than three goals per game this postseason.

The Bruins have multiple scoring threats on their roster, as three players have scored three goals each during their first round series: Brad Marchand, Jake DeBrusk, and Trent Frederic. One of these three players will need to have another great offensive performance to get past the Maple Leafs tonight. Neither team has been shutout during this series, so multiple goals will likely be needed to emerge victorious.

Eight different players have scored a goal for the Maple Leafs in the NHL playoffs this season. Only one of these players has scored more than one goal, as Matthew Knies has found the back of the net twice. The Maple Leafs have struggled to find consistent offense against the Bruins, as they are currently averaging less than two goals per game in this series. If the Maple Leafs want to force a game 7 in Boston, then they will have to find a way to compete with the Bruins offense tonight.
