Leafs' Toughness Shines in Victory

0:00It's March 25th. Welcome in. This is NHL News Today, where your team meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. The Toronto Maple Leafs picked up a key 4-2 victory over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday 9th at TD Garden. Matthew Nees scored twice, including his first shorthand of goal and an empty netter, while Max Dome and William Nyland are at italy's. John Tavaris' dished out three assists, and goalie Anthony Stolars stopped 18 of 20 shots to secure the win. The Bruins got goals from Elias Lindholm and Charlie McAvoy, with Jeremy Swaman making 31 saves on 34 shots. But Toronto took control after a rough hit on Tavaris by Nikita Zedorov sent him into the boards. Rookie Easton Cowan, a 20-year-old forward, immediately jumped into defend Tavaris, drawing a scrum around him. Later, at three minutes, three seconds of the third period, Dakota Joshua dropped the gloves with Zedorov to back up his teammate.

1:00Coach Kred Baroube loved seeing that team toughness from the young guys. Stolars also shown after a scary putt to the throw in warmups the other night, staying sharp against the top goalie like Swaman and helping Toronto. Hold the lead. Tavaris called it the Leafs' best game in a long time, with everyone competing hard. They host the New York Rangers on Wednesday night at Scotia Bank Arena, then had to St. Louis for the Blues on Saturday, carrying this momentum into the stretch.
