Overview
- Jeremy Swayman stopped 30 shots as Boston got goals from Morgan Geekie, Viktor Arvidsson, Mikey Eyssimont, David Pastrnak and Minten.
- Toronto scored through Nick Robertson, Matias Maccelli and a John Tavares power-play marker, while a late William Nylander shot hit the crossbar and post and stayed out.
- Anthony Stolarz was pulled after allowing four goals on 19 shots; Dennis Hildeby relieved and made 19 saves.
- Nikita Zadorov leveled Scott Laughton with a heavy hit that sparked a fight with Bobby McMann, and coach Craig Berube said Laughton will not play Sunday.
- The game reinforced Toronto’s early-season theme of strong 5‑on‑5 scoring but sputtering special teams, with a rematch set in Boston on Tuesday after the Leafs host Carolina on Sunday.
