Players To Watch:
Toronto – William Nylander leads the team with 13 points and is playing just under 20 minutes of ice time. Auston Matthews has a team-leading seven goals. Former Bruin Tyler Bertuzzi has two goals, both on the power play.
Boston – Pavel Zacha is on a hot streak with goals in three of his last four games, including the overtime winner against Florida. McAvoy is out with a four-game suspension, and Grzelcyk is on long-term injured reserve, which gives rookie defenseman Mason Lohrei an opportunity at top-4 park minutes.
