David Pastrnak answered the call in overtime to send the Boston Bruins to Round Two, as the Bruins defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs in dramatic fashion with a 2-1 win in Game 7.
“I’m really proud of the players because this was an opportunity to seize the moment and be difference makers,” Montgomery said after the win. “Everybody had the attitude of wanting to be a difference maker.”
“We were connected as five guys in all three zones,” Montgomery said.
Despite the Bruins starting on time and sustaining offensive zone overage early on, the Maple Leafs clogged shooting lanes like the previous two games, limiting the Bruins’ scoring chances.
