BOSTON (AP) — Maple Leafs defenseman Jake Muzzin has extra motivation to beat Boston on Sunday and eliminate the Bruins in six games: It would mean some extra time to spend with his brand-new baby daughter.
Muzzin’s wife, Courtney, gave birth to a daughter, Luna, on Thursday, the off day between Games 4 and 5. Muzzin was there for the delivery but got caught in some air travel delays while making his way to Boston in time to assist on Auston Matthews’ opening goal in the 2-1 victory Friday night that gave Toronto a 3-2 lead in the series.
