Tonight at 7:00 p.m. ET the Toronto Maple Leafs (11-5-0, 22 points) will hike to Boston to face the Bruins (9-5-1,19 points) at the TD Garden in NHL action that can be live streamed here. Maple Leafs fans can catch the radio broadcast on Sportsnet 590, while Bruins fans can hear the game on 98.5 The Sports Hub.
The Maple Leafs and Bruins are meeting for the first time since last season's playoffs, when Boston was pushed to seven games, and faced a 4-1 deficit in the third period against Toronto before rallying for one of the most shocking comebacks in NHL history.
"We really haven't looked at the Toronto game at all. We can't do that with the way we're playing right now," Boston forward Brad Marchand told the team's official website. "We want to focus one shift at a time and really put a good effort in (Thursday night's) game. I think we did that. It wasn't pretty the first period of the game, but we came along and we played pretty well towards the end.
"So, now we can focus on Toronto, and it's really nice to get a good win under our belt going to that game because it will be a very tough game. They're a really good team and playing well right now."
The Bruins have had a hard time in recent weeks, going 1-3-1 in their last five games. They finally got a regulation win on Thursday vs. San Jose, their first since October 24th.
"We seemed to get better as the game wore on," coach Claude Julien said. "The third was definitely our best period. Sometimes when your team is struggling it is better to not say anything and just let the players work their way out of it."
