The MapleLeafs kick things off with a Game 1 victory over the Bruins.
Boston nearly tied it moments later, but Andersen stopped Charlie Coyle before the Bruins centre rang a shot off the post that stayed out.
Joakim Nordstrom had a great chance for Boston seven minutes into the third, but the puck just trickled wide of Andersen’s post. Following a tentative start for both teams, the Bruins went ahead on a power play at 9:31 of the first after Nylander took an undisciplined high-sticking penalty immediately after being on the receiving end of a big hit from Connor Clifton.
Andersen, who had a save percentage of just .896 in last year’s first round and an .881 mark over his final 10 games of 2018-19, made a big glove stop on Danton Heinen later in the period after Jake Gardiner turned the puck over in front of his own net to set the table for Marner’s equalizer.
