The Maple Leafs will look to stave off a first-round playoff exit when they head to Boston for Game 5 of their series against the Bruins on Tuesday night.
Though the Maple Leafs were able to win Game 2 to even the series at one game a piece, Boston proceeded to win the next two games in Toronto to seize control.
Jeremy Swayman pitched two fantastic efforts in the crease; he has won all three games of the series, posting a 1.34 goals against average. And after not scoring in the opening two games, veteran Brad Marchand has three goals and five points across the last two contests.

To keep its season alive, Toronto will certainly need Auston Matthews. The NHL's leading goal-scorer in the regular season (69) sat out the final period in Saturday's loss due to an illness.
For the Maple Leafs, a loss on Tuesday would mark their sixth first-round playoff exit in the last eight seasons.
