Matthews, Tavares lead Maple Leafs over Bruins. MORE:
Mitch Marner added an empty netter and had three assists for Toronto , while Jack Campbell made 40 saves for the Leafs. Morgan Rielly chipped in with two assists of his own. Tavares also added an assist.
Tied 1-1 late in the second period, Toronto's power play stayed hot by connecting for a fourth straight game. Marner moved into the offensive zone and fed a pass to Matthews, who saw the puck go off his skate, Ullmark's pad and then back to the star centre's stick for him to bury his fifth goal of the season with 5:01 left.
The Bruins and their ninth-ranked power play got a chance early in the third, with captain Patrice Bergeron and Hall coming close. Coming off a four-goal game Thursday in a 5-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings, Bergeron took the initial one-time shot off a Marchand feed that Hall tipped past Campbell for his third.
