Auston Matthews
Toronto, which took a 3-2 lead in the series thanks to a patient, stifling defensive performance Friday at TD Garden, is Canada's last hope of ending the country's 26-year Stanley Cup drought. The Calgary Flames and Winnipeg Jets were eliminated from post-season contention earlier in the week. Tempers then flared midway through the period when DeBrusk and Rielly crashed into the end boards, with the Toronto defenceman giving the Boston forward an extra cross-check.Rielly then set up Matthews on another terrific chance only to see the pass hop of the star centre's stick as Toronto turned up the pressure.
Andersen was solid, but could do nothing on Boston's slick goal that made it 3-1. DeBrusk left the puck forand making a diving stab at the return feed at 7:57.
