Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Boston Bruins: Keys to Game 4

Here are some storylines to keep an eye on for Game 4.

Transition Game

The Bruins will come out for Game 4 with a renewed focus on battening down the neutral zone after the Leafs managed to break it open a little bit and stretched the ice on them with some success for the first time in the series in Game 3.

The Leafs, as we’ve seen all year, want to take their shots down the ice, back off the Bruins forecheck, and catch Boston on the break in transition. But the Bruins are also a highly dangerous team in transition and are typically a well-organized group through the neutral zone, meaning the Leafs can’t throw pucks away when the openings aren’t there.
