It looked like it might be a very long night inside the first five minutes, as Boston came out and generated the first four chances, including a goal through Brad Marchand. Toronto had a quick response, though, Bozak getting a goal just two minutes later. Boston pulled back ahead again midway through the period, Bergeron sneaking one in, but again it was Bozak, this time finishing a pass from JVR on the powerplay.
The Leafs held on into the second, and it was the powerplay that did the damage again; Toronto were down 10-3 in ES chances, and 12-4 overall, when Jake Gardiner added a second powerplay goal to put them back ahead. Milan Lucic hit the post less than a minute later, and Toronto had a chance to extend the lead too, Van Riemsdyk getting a few chances in close.
A huge goal for Toronto came just at the start of the third, as Van Riemsdyk scored in the first minute to extend the lead. The goal would prove crucial, as Boston cut the lead again midway through the period, leaving them to chase in the last ten minutes.
Given the Leafs' poor performances defending third period leads, they actually weren't bad in this game, as despite some heavy pressure from Boston, they didn't get too many good chances, and the Leafs almost got an insurance marker through Kadri. Boston managed only a single chance in the last five minutes,
A big Boston win in chances, holding the Leafs to just 7 at even strength. The Leafs generated six powerplay chances, but also allowed Boston a couple of close chances while the Bruins were shorthanded.

Randy Carlyle changed up the top line, playing Kessel with Kadri at several points in the game, and giving Lupul-Bozak-JVR a run at those times as well. Bozak managed to have a strong game, picking up three points, but wasn't great in terms of chances, -4 at ES and -5 5-on-5 close. The worst of the forward lines was the third, as Clarkson and Kulemin did manage to generate some good cycling shifts, but didn't actually get much in terms of chances on the Boston goal, both -6. The top forward was Phil Kessel, who was the only regular forward managing to put up a positive.
A disasterous game for the top defensive pairing, especially Carl Gunnarsson, who managed to be on the ice for 12 ES chances against. Both Phaneuf and Gunnarsson were game-worst -9s. On the other hand was Tim Gleason, who had his best game as a Leaf, an excellent +4. Cody Franson was even, while Rielly and Gardiner had quiet games, both -3.
