The Boston Bruins fell to the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-1 in game six of their first-round playoff series on Monday night in Toronto. 

The series is now tied at three games apiece, setting up a game seven back in Boston. 

The Bruins had a 3-1 lead in the series, but have dropped the last two.

With the game tied at one in the second period, Boston’s Brad Marchand whiffed on a clearing attempt allowing Toronto’s Mitchell Marner to take over the puck at the top of the face-off circle.

Marner fired a spinning backhander just past Tuukka Rask’s glove and into the back of the net to give the Leafs a 2-1 lead.

In the third, the Bruins got a power play with five minutes left in the period but were unable to score despite several shots.

Shortly after the man advantage ended, Toronto’s Tomas Plekanec would score an empty-netter to seal the win.

Bruins Score First

After a scoreless first period, Boston’s Jake DeBrusk found the back of the net just 1:02 into the second period to put the Bruins up 1-0.

However, their lead would be short-lived.

Just 35 seconds later, Toronto’s William Nylander picked up a rebound off a shot from Nazem Kadri and put in an empty net to tie the game at one.

Game 7

Game seven will take place on Wednesday, April 25 at TD Garden in Boston.

Game time is yet to be determined.
