Nearly midway through the second period of Tuesday night's game at the TD Garden against the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Boston Bruins were holding a 4-1 lead over their Atlantic Division rivals. This was the second matchup in three days after the two teams hooked up on Saturday night in Toronto and the Bruins came away with a 5-3 win.
On Saturday night, Zadorov laid a heavy hit on Toronto center Scott Laughton and knocked him out of the game with an injury. The Maple Leafs entered the second matchup in Boston as an angry team from that hit, never mind that was to come in the second period of the rematch.
