Matthews, Hyman score in 2nd, Maple Leafs beat Bruins 4-1
BOSTON — The Toronto Maple Leafs found a way to overcome a poor opening period.
Auston Matthews and Zach Hyman scored in the second period, Frederik Andersen made 32 saves and the Maple Leafs beat the Boston Bruins 4-1 on Saturday night.
“The last three games the first period kind of did us in,” Toronto coach Mike Babcock said. “We didn’t start on time. We were able to hold on. It still wasn’t the first period we wanted, but we didn’t give up the goals and we were able to execute a little bit.”
After managing only two shots on goal in the first, Toronto was happy to get to the dressing room with the game scoreless.
