Last night the Bruins had a 2-0 lead against the rebuilding Toronto Maple Leafs but wound up losing the game 4-2. Patrice Bergeron scored his first goal and Blake Wheeler scored his second goal of the season in the first period.

Thomas has now started 4 games and is 1-2-2, with a 2.65 GAA, and 91.9% save percentage.
There were two big hits by the Bruins is this game that were noticeable. The first one was Dennis Wideman laying out a Maple Leaf when the Leaf tried cutting into the middle of the defensive zone. It looked like a classic Andrew Alberts or Kyle McLaren type of hit. The next hit was Milan Lucic slamming Leaf defenseman Mike Van Ryn threw the glass. Lucic finished the game with 4 hits, while Zdeno Chara led the team with 5 hits.
You can watch the Leafs-Bruins game highlights, which includes the two big hits.
The Bruins next game is on Saturday at 7pm EST vs the Atlanta Thrashers.
