BOSTON — Another season. Another first-round exit for the Toronto Maple Leafs . For the seventh time in the last eight seasons, the Leafs were eliminated in the first round, this time at the hands of the Boston Bruins in seven games. The Leafs clawed back from a 3-1 series deficit without Auston Matthews, but ultimately fell to the in Game 7 in a bitter repeat of history. The Leafs also lost first-round series in 2013, 2018 and 2019 in seven games to the Bruins.

He didn’t have a single multi-point outing all series and scored only once. Playing without Nylander and Matthews, the Leafs needed more from Marner, the ’s seventh-leading scorer over the past four regular seasons. Marner is eligible to sign an extension with the Leafs on July 1. His future with the team now, in the wake of another disappointing season, will become one of the biggest, if not the biggest, storylines of the offseason.
