There will be a game 6 in Toronto as the Leafs beat the Bruins 2-1 tonight. The Bruins didn't show up for the first two periods and couldn't get much going as the Leafs were getting chance after chance but Tuukka Rask was there to stop them.

The Leafs would get a break as Andrew Ference on the power-play bobbled the puck and Tyler Bozak scored a short-handed goal on a breakaway. The Leafs second goal came from a turnover as Johnny Boychuk made a pass off the boards to Nathan Horton but the puck bounced away from Horton.
