### 2018 NHL Playoffs Round 1 Toronto vs Boston: Game # 4

### Time: 7:00 PM

### Location: Air Canada Centre

### Broadcast/Streaming: CBC / NBCSN

**Opponent SBNation Site:** [**Stanley Cup of Chowder**](https://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

After getting pasted for a couple of games in Massachusetts, the Leafs came out on home ice and looked like themselves. It was sloppy at times and they needed some heroics from Freddie Andersen, but the Leafs brought the offensive fire they need to win games. More of that, please.

Patrick Marleau led the charge with a pair of goals. In his honour: Bear vs. (Former) Shark.

### Toronto Maple Leafs

#### Forward Lines

Zach Hyman - Auston Matthews - William Nylander  
Patrick Marleau - Tomas Plekanec - Mitch Marner  
James van Riemsdyk - Tyler Bozak - Connor Brown  
Andreas Johnsson - Dominic Moore - Kasperi Kapanen

#### Defence Pairings

Morgan Rielly - Ron Hainsey  
Jake Gardiner - Nikita Zaitsev  
Travis Dermott - Roman Polak

#### Goaltenders

Frederik Andersen  
Curtis McElhinney

Nazem Kadri is serving the final game of his suspension for boarding the Bruins’ Tommy Wingels in Game One, while Leo Komarov looks to be still recovering. So the Leafs are back to the roster that won Game Three. Tomas Plekanec lost the shots battle to the Bergeron line (everyone does) but played as effectively as we could have hoped, while Dom Moore sure looked like a man who does not want to leave the lineup again.

Jake Gardiner had an extremely fine game on Monday night, and getting more of Playoff Jake would go a long way toward tying up this series. Freddie let in a couple of muffin goals early and then went into Kill Mode for the third period, making one of the greatest saves I’ve ever seen.

### Boston Bruins

#### Forward Lines

Brad Marchand - Patrice Bergeron - David Pastrnak  
Jake DeBrusk - David Krejci - Rick Nash  
Danton Heinen - Noel Acciari - David Backes  
Tim Schaller - Sean Kuraly - Tommy Wingels

#### Defence Pairings

Zdeno Chara - Charlie McAvoy  
Torey Krug - Kevan Miller  
Matt Grzelcyk - Adam McQuaid

#### Goaltenders

Tuukka Rask  
Anton Khudobin

I said a bunch of stuff, but forget it, because we have one hell of a late-breaking announcement:

> UPDATE: Patrice Bergeron will not play in tonight’s game (Upper body, day-to-day).
> 
> — Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) [April 19, 2018](https://twitter.com/NHLBruins/status/987096761692033025?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

Needless to say, the Bruins missing their best player is a situation the Leafs had damn well better be prepared to take advantage of. We don’t currently have the lines as they will appear sans Bergeron as this is very late-breaking news, but Riley Nash was apparently taking shifts between Marchand and Pastrnak yesterday, so he may be the next man up.

Follow-up: here’s the warmup:
