The Toronto Maple Leafs forced a winner-take-all Game 7 in their first-round series against the Boston Bruins after earning a narrow 2-1 victory on home ice Thursday night.
Boston will host the final game Saturday. TD Garden housed Game 7s between the two clubs in 2013, 2018, and 2019, with the home side prevailing each time.
The winner will move on to face the Florida Panthers in Round 2. The Cats eliminated the Tampa Bay Lightning in five games this year and ended both the Bruins' and Maple Leafs' playoffs last spring en route to a Stanley Cup Final appearance.
