The Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Boston Bruins last night, with about half their lineup taking a rest.
The final score was 5-2, William Nylander scored a couple of nice ones, no one was hurt, and now it’s official: The Toronto Maple Leafs will play the Tampa Bay Lightning in round one of the NHL playoffs.
The Leafs finish the regular season 3rd overall, with a 71% points-percentage, and a team record 54 wins and 115 points. Its the kind of response to last year’s playoff upset against Montreal that will cement the Kyle Dubas era in Toronto for years to come.
