The Boston Bruins top line of Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron, and David Pastrnak has been the best line in the playoffs.
The Boston Bruins dropped their first game of the playoffs on Monday night.
One player who had a lot of opportunities was David Pastrnak. His reaction to struggling in Boston also was not what you'd want to hear from a leader and a great player. Leafs coach Mike Babcock was able to use the last change to get Matthews on the ice when Zdeno Chara and Charlie McAvoy were on the bench, giving him more space to work with. In the third, Pastrnak continued his dominance with a slick showing of patience to beat McElhinney short side after walking out from behind the net and Pastrnak capped his monster night by completing the hat trick in spectacular fashion. They'll make mistakes, we'll make mistakes.
"He's going to skate tomorrow, and then will skate the following day and be a game-time decision (for Game 4)", said Babcock. Giroux played no small part in the affair.
Rookie Will Butcher had a power-play goal earlier in the third to tie the score 2-all, and Blake Coleman and Ben Lovejoy added empty net goals late. Boston has been so dominant offensively, only five Bruins who played in the first two games have failed to register a point.
Still, after two dominating performances from the Bruins where the Maple Leafs looked lost early in both games, it's hard to see a full turn around in Toronto's game.
"My question was: who made the call? They're supposed to win their two home games and now we come back here and obviously win this one tonight, strong effort tonight and be ready to go".

Alex Killorn and Steven Stamkos each had a power-play goal and an assist for the Lightning.
Jake DeBrusk followed that up just minutes later with his first career playoff goal, tipping the centering pass from Torey Krug past Andersen to make it 2-0. Three minutes later, he picked up his second. The Bruins top line cycled the puck well in the Leafs zone, which they have trouble defending, but no goal game. Game time is yet to be determined.
Auston Matthews delivered the game-winner, and it was like he convinced a city, a team, and himself that the Leafs are still in this thing. The team that won Game 3 has gone on to win that series in all but two of those 14 series. He left in the second period with his injury. He also added a goal and an assist, the last of which brought him to seven points on the night. He played the best game since he's been here.
The Bruins scored early and often, netting four goals in the first period. "We knew they were going to push back".
As for the overall Leafs effort, the Bruins weren't expecting to sweep their way to an easy first-round victory, especially given their divisional rival's success at the Air Canada Centre. And sprinkled throughout the game were three primary assists for Gretzky, two coming while Edmonton was on the penalty kill. Pastrnak has led the way with four goals and nine points.
