Bruins Postgame: Bruins Choking Again, Lose Game 6 2-1

DOGHOUSE: After being out-shot 11-2 in the first period of Game 5, the Bruins couldn’t find the net to start Game 6 either. The Bruins had more energy in the first period on Saturday night, but they still only mustered two shots on net and were out-shot 12-2. They gained more sustained offensive pressure as the game went on, out-shooting the Leafs 22-14 in the final two periods.

BANGER: Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy led all skaters with a whopping 11 hits, but unfortunately, he also had three turnovers and was a minus -2.

UNSUNG HERO:  Former Boston College goalie Joseph Woll was brilliant again as he stopped every shot the Bruins put at him until the final second of the game when Morgan Geekie got one by him. The Maple Leafs have done a much better job of clogging the lanes and boxing the Bruins out, but there’s no denying that Woll has done his job and more in the last two games.
