Overview
- Jeremy Swayman stopped 30 shots as Boston got goals from Morgan Geekie, Viktor Arvidsson, Mikey Eyssimont, David Pastrnak and Fraser Minten.
- Minten scored an insurance marker with just over three minutes left in his first game against Toronto since being traded to the Bruins.
- David Pastrnak netted a highlight-reel tally in the second period, pushing Toronto to replace starter Anthony Stolarz after four goals on 19 shots.
- Dennis Hildeby made 19 saves in relief for the Maple Leafs, who nearly tied it when William Nylander hit the crossbar late in the third.
- Nikita Zadorov’s heavy hit on Scott Laughton led to a fight with Bobby McMann and Laughton did not return, while Boston played without Charlie McAvoy and Casey Mittelstadt.
