COMMENTARY
The Bruins failed to clinch their spot in the Eastern Conference semifinals Saturday night — falling to the Maple Leafs, 4-3, in Game 5 at the TD Garden.
“We could’ve done a better job, for sure,” captain Zdeno Chara told reporters after the loss. “We had a chance. But tomorrow’s another day. We have to get ready for the next game and how we’re going to approach it.”
The two teams will return to Toronto for Monday night’s Game 6, as the Maple Leafs hope to defend home ice and force a winner-take-all elimination contest.
