2024 NHL playoff preview: Boston Bruins vs. Toronto Maple Leafs

By Dom Luszczyszyn, Sean Gentille and Shayna Goldman Here we go again. For the third time in the Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner era, the will face the in Round 1. Maybe the third time’s the charm for Toronto. Maybe this time will, in fact, be different, especially after the Leafs slayed their first-round demons last spring. Maybe things will go the way they always do against the Bruins. Advertisement Either way, it should make for the most entertaining series of the opening round.

The wrinkle, as noted by The Athletic’s Fluto Shinzawa, is that none of that came against the Maple Leafs; Swayman, back in the pre-deadline days, started Boston’s final two games against Toronto and played beautifully, allowing one goal in each, making 61 total stops and saving more than four goals above expected. For Boston, it’s a good problem to have, and for us, it’s a fascinating storyline to track.
