TORONTO (AP) — William Nylander scored two goals, Joseph Woll made 22 saves, and the Toronto Maple Leafs triumphed over the Boston Bruins 2-1 on Thursday night, forcing a decisive seventh game in the first-round Eastern Conference series. Toronto managed to bounce back from a 3-1 series deficit, including a critical 2-1 overtime victory in Boston on Tuesday, to send the series back to Boston for a winner-takes-all finale on Saturday. The victor will advance to face the Florida Panthers.
Morgan Rielly provided assists for both of Nylander's goals. Jeremy Swayman stopped 24 shots for the Bruins, who suffered a similar fate last year when they blew a 3-1 series lead against the Florida Panthers in the first round before losing in Game 7 following a record-setting regular season. Morgan Geekie prevented Woll from securing a shutout with a goal scored just 0.1 seconds before the final buzzer.
Toronto played without Auston Matthews for the second consecutive game after the star center was sidelined from Game 4 due to illness. Nylander broke the deadlock with just 54.8 seconds remaining in the second period. The Swedish winger received a pass from Timothy Liljegren in the offensive zone, evaded his marker, and unleashed a shot that deflected off Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy in front of the net, beating Swayman on the short side. The goal sparked jubilant celebrations both inside Scotiabank Arena and outside in Maple Leaf Square, which transformed into a sea of blue and white.
Toronto extended their lead to 2-0 with 2:13 left in the game when Nylander capitalized on a solo opportunity after receiving a pass from Matthew Knies, slipping a backhander between Swayman’s pads. Woll made history as the first goalie in NHL history to have each of his first four career playoff starts occur in elimination games. Thatcher Demko (2020), Michael Hutchinson (2020), and Manny Fernandez (2003) are the only other goaltenders to have their first three starts come in win-or-go-home contests.
