BOSTON — Game 7’s always provide plenty of excitement.
This certainly held true Tuesday night at TD Garden, with the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs both fighting to extend their season in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs first round.
Boston came out firing in the first, scoring two goals before allowing the Leafs to come within one. But that all changed just 2:40 into the third when Sean Kuraly gave the Black and Gold a two-goal lead with an electric snipe that beat Frederik Andersen.
Take a look:
Third period of #Game7. This is how you want to start. #StanleyCup
