Frederik Andersen made 32 saves for the Toronto Maple Leafs in a 3-1 win against the Boston Bruins in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference First Round at Air Canada Centre on Monday.
The series is tied 3-3. Game 7 is at Boston on Wednesday (7:30 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, Sportsnet, TVAS).
William Nylander, Mitchell Marner and Tomas Plekanec scored for the Maple Leafs, who have won the past two games.
Jake DeBrusk scored, and Tuukka Rask made 27 saves for the Bruins.
DeBrusk gave Boston a 1-0 lead at 1:02 of the second period, scoring from the top of the right circle after David Krejci won the face-off back to him.
Nylander tied it 35 seconds later, collecting the rebound off Nikita Zaitsev’s shot from the point and scoring into an open net to make it 1-1.
Zach Hyman appeared to give the Maple Leafs a 2-1 lead at 3:04 of the second period, but Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy challenged for goaltender interference, and the call was reversed after a video review.
Marner scored to make it 2-1 at 13:25 when he got a loose puck in the left circle and beat Rask glove side with a backhand.
Plekanec extended the lead to 3-1 with 1:14 left in the third period with an empty-net goal.
