The Boston Bruins needed to reverse momentum in Round 1 after a slump to end the season. Off the backs of Jake DeBrusk and Jeremy Swayman, the Bruins did just that.
Boston took a 4-0 lead after two period and held strong, taking a 4-1 victory in order to take a 1-0 series lead over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Bruins looked like a team that could be ripe for the taking at the end of the regular season. Boston lost the final two games of the season, which caused it to drop from the Atlantic Division lead and find a matchup with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
