For the second time in three days on Tuesday night, the Boston Bruins picked up a 5-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. It was their seventh straight win, and they handed the Maple Leafs their third straight loss.
It was an eventful game where things got chippy in the third period. Midway through the second period, Bruins defenseman Nikita Zadorov had a heavy hit on Toronto captain Auston Matthews, which knocked him out for the rest of the game. It was the second Maple Leafs player that Zadorov has sidelined after a hit on Scott Laughton, who is currently also out of the lineup.
