The Boston Bruins can clinch their first-round series on the road on Thursday night against a Maple Leafs team that will be missing one of its star players.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll looks back at the puck on a goal by Boston Bruins center Trent Frederic during the first period of Game 5 of an NHL hockey Stanley Cup first-round playoff series, Tuesday, April 30, 2024, in Boston. The Boston Bruins will look to clinch the first round of the NHL playoffs over the Toronto Maple Leafs when they meet in Game 6 on Thursday night at Scotiabank Arena.
Jeremy Swayman likely will start in net for the Bruins , who have appeared to abandon their plans for a goalie rotation. Swayman was in net for the Game 1 win, then Linus Ullmark was in the net for Game 2, which Boston lost. Swayman took his regular turn in Game 3 and was back on the ice for the fourth and fifth games. He played well in Tuesday’s loss, stopping 31 shots.
“That experience last year definitely helped,” said Woll, who made a huge third-period stop on former juniors teammate Trent Frederic before adding five more saves in Tuesday’s extra period. “I felt more comfortable coming into the situation. Each time you get a little more experience, and you learn from your mistakes.”
