In the preview for tonight’s game, I noted my surprise at the fact that the Toronto Maple Leafs power play was, statistically, one of the worst in the NHL on the young season.
The Leafs shrugged off those power play woes on Tuesday night, cashing in three times with the man advantage to beat the Bruins, 4-0.
Toronto got two power play goals in quick succession in the second period, then tacked on another late in the third and an empty-netter to put a cherry on top.
The Leafs win marked the first time they’ve defeated the Bruins in the regular season since November 5, 2022.
