Just two games tonight, beginning with...
The Boston Bruins welcoming the Toronto Maple Leafs. Frederik Andersen and Tuukka Rask are set to start in goal. Toronto dented the scoreboard in the third period with an Auston Matthews goal, his fourth of the postseason, made possible by Jake Muzzin and Kasperi Kapanen. The Maple Leafs added on with a Kapanen goal, via Andreas Johnsson and Morgan Rielly. Boston got on the board with a David Krejci goal, his second of the playoffs, courtesy of David Pastrnak and Torey Krug. This only made it 2-1, the final, with the three stars being Kapanen, Andersen (28 for 29 in saves), and Matthews. The Maple Leafs head home again with a chance to advance as they hold a 3-2 series lead.
Out west, the Calgary Flames bring in the Colorado Avalanche. Philipp Grubauer and Mike Smith are between the pipes. Colorado kicked off the scoring in the first period with a Gabriel Landeskog goal, coming off of Tyson Barrie and Nathan MacKinnon. The Avalanche added on with a Mikko Rantanen goal, his fourth of the postseason, helped along by Cale Makar and Colin Wilson. Calgary got on the board with a T.J. Brodie goal, his second of the playoffs, via Sam Bennett. Colorado replied in the second period with a Wilson goal, assisted by Rantanen. The Avalanche extended the lead as Wilson scored again on the power play, with the help of MacKinnon and Tyson Barrie. Colorado padded the lead in the third period with a Rantanen power play goal, his second of the game and fifth of the postseason, powered by Barrie and MacKinnon, both of whom earned sock tricks. The final stayed at 5-1, with the three stars awarded to Rantanen, Wilson, and MacKinnon, while Barrie gets an honorable mention. The Avalanche advance to the second round with a 4-1 series win.
