Boston Bruins

Toronto Maple Leafs

Match Preview

The most enthralling ⅛ final series of the Stanley Cup between Boston and Toronto is coming to an end. On May 5th, the TD Garden arena will host the 7th match, which will determine the participant of the second round.

“The Bears”, just like last year, have lost their advantage over the opponent and are at risk of exiting the path so early. They led the series with a score of 3-1, but in the recent matches, they often acted passively, leading to such a result. In the previous meeting, Jim Montgomery's protégés even risked finishing without scoring a goal, if not for Morgan Geekie, who struck the opponent's net in the last second.

Toronto, in an incredible manner, turned the course of the confrontation around, although there were no prerequisites for it. And, most surprisingly, “the Leafs” did it without their attack leader Auston Matthews, who was out due to illness. In the last match, William Nylander took on the role of the scorer, whose double allowed the Canadian team to even the series.

Projected lineups:

Boston: Swayman – LoRey, McAvoy – DeBrusk, Zaha, Heinen

Toronto: Woll – Lyubushkin, Brodie – Marner, Domi, Bertuzzi

The hosts will be without Poitras, who is not a key player. The guests lost Klingberg, and it is unknown whether Matthews will finally hit the ice.

Emotionally, Toronto is currently significantly superior to the opponent, and this factor may play a decisive role in the final match of the series. We believe that Boston will not manage to win again, at least within three periods.
