David Pastrnak scored a decisive goal in Game 7 overtime, leading the Boston Bruins to a 2-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. This win not only eliminated the Maple Leafs from the NHL playoffs but also advanced the Bruins to the second round, where they will face the Florida Panthers. The goal, assisted by Hampus Lindholm and Brandon Carlo at 1:54 into overtime, came after a series where the Maple Leafs struggled offensively, never scoring more than three goals in any game. The Bruins' victory sets up a rematch of last year's opening round, which the Panthers won.
