Jeremy Swayman stood out in the Bruins’ net, turning away 24 of 25 shots faced, maintaining his stellar performance in the postseason with a 3-0 record, a 1.33 Goals Against Average, and a .956 Save Percentage.
Special teams played a crucial role in the Bruins’ success, with Marchand’s goal marking the sixth power-play goal for Boston in the series. The Bruins’ penalty kill also excelled, keeping Toronto at bay during crucial moments in the game.
