The Toronto Maple Leafs outshot the Boston Bruins 42-31, they won the Corsi battle 70-43, they did everything right. Except shut down the Bruins first line. David Pastrnak scored twice, and Brad Marchand had three primary points (1g, 2a) in a 6-4, gut-wrenching Game 4 loss at Scotiabank Arena.
The Leafs nearly completed a three-goal comeback in the third period on the back of a two-goal, seven-shot night from Auston Matthews, but they came up just short in the end.
Quantitatively, the Leafs didn’t look very good at the beginning of the game.
