The Boston Bruins came out in Game 6 looking more like the sluggish bunch that skated in Game 5. That didn’t bode well early against a hungry Toronto Maple Leafs squad looking for its first postseason series win in 15 years.
Morgan Rielly’s blast past Tuukka Rask at 9:42 in put Toronto in the proverbial driver’s seat in front of a raucous Scotiabank Arena crowd. The Bruins desperately needed an answer to save their season.
They got it when Brad Marchand’s shot hit Ron Hainsey and slipped past Frederik Andersen for the equalizer. Then they built off that momentum swing from a lucky bounce.
