A poor start in their second straight game against Boston saw the Maple Leafs behind by two after the first period.
They rallied well in the second, as a wild five minute stretch saw them score three times and level the score. Neither team managed to score in the third period, and the Leafs ended up in a shoot-out for the sixth time this year, losing out as Boston swept the two-game series.
Through two periods, the game was close in terms of possession, with the two teams dead level in five-on-five Corsi. The Leafs then pulled away in the third period, dominating the game, but were unable to find a way through and get a winner. The Leafs ended up far ahead in terms of chances, but most of that difference came with the extra man, where Toronto generated twelve chances. The Leafs also had the better of the zone entries, although not by much.

The Leafs dominated the last 25 minutes of regulation, out-chancing the Bruins 12-4 in that time, and dominated the overtime period — the only team getting chances in the five three-on-three minutes.
The Bruins did managed to clamp down early in the second period, defending their lead, as there was just one chance in the first half of the period until that wild five minutes.

The top line faced a tough matchup, mostly going against the Krejci line and Chara, but they thrived offensively — each of Kadri, JvR and Komarov were on the ice for seven ES chances for and only a couple against. They had good numbers for controlled entries offensively, but the worst numbers on the team defending controlled entries.
Tyler Bozak’s line was also strong, as he, Parenteau and Matthias were on for only a single Bruins ES chance against.
The other lines got a lot more defensive assignments, and ended up with negative chance differentials, with Joffrey Lupul not on for a single Leaf ES chance, as his goal came on a delayed penalty. Peter Holland’s line had very difficult zone starts, while the Lupul trio took the most difficult match-up.
Dion Phaneuf and Jake Gardiner were the top pairing for the Leafs, playing mostly with the Kadri line and finishing with the two best chance differentials on the team. In contrast, Matt Hunwick and Morgan Rielly were out-chanced, mostly down to their match-up with the Bergeron line, who were the most successful Boston trio.
