Another imposing night with nine hits and four shot blocks.

Jake McCabe: 7.3

Steady night interrupted by a couple of blips that didn’t cost the Leafs.

Quiet night in offensive zone, but was a presence with seven hits.

Two goals in a difference-making performance to send it back to Boston.

Two shots on goal, still looking to make more of an offensive impact.

Pontus Holmberg: 7.2

Won three of his four draws, made a couple of giveaways.

Noah Gregor: 7.2

Brought energy and physicality in his first game of the series.

Connor Dewar: 7.3

Honest effort on every shift and was not a liability.
