Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Boston Bruins – Game #1 Preview, Projected Lineups & TV Broadcast Info
For the fourth time in 11 years, the Maple Leafs attempt to slay the bear in a first-round matchup against the Boston Bruins (8:00 p.m. EST, Sportsnet, CBC, HBO Max, TBS, truTV).
Early indications are injury and lineup information will be very hard to come by via Sheldon Keefe and the Maple Leafs this playoff, which is apparently a Brad Treliving-issued mandate. Keefe did not tip his hand on whether TJ Brodie will start this series in the press box as the team’s #7 on the blue line. He didn’t confirm Ilya Samsonov as his Game 1 starter (he clearly will be). He also did not clarify William Nylander’s status or that of his other injured players.
