Marchand scores two goals in Game 3 win
Brad Marchand scored two goals, including the game-winner, and added a power-play assist Wednesday in a 4-2 victory over the Maple Leafs in Game 3 of the Bruins’ first-round series. The supreme agitator was at his frustrating best, adding six shots on net, two hits, one blocked shot, and a plus-2 rating to his ledger. While Wednesday’s tallies were his first of the playoffs, Marchand has erupted for six points in three games as the Bruins have taken a 2-1 lead in the series. He’ll look to stay hot Saturday in Game 4.
Samsonov falls to Boston in Game 3
Illya Samsonov stopped 30 of 33 shots in Wednesday’s 4-2 loss to the Bruins. Boston’s final goal of Game 3 getting scored into an empty net. Jeremy Swayman and Samsonov were both perfect in the first period. They still had a 1-1 goaltending duel going headed into the second intermission. The Bruins pulled away after Jake DeBrusk notched a power-play tally just 67 seconds into the final frame. Samsonov has given up nine goals on 86 shots through the first three games of the playoffs, and with Toronto down 2-1 in the series, he might need to come up big in Game 4 on Saturday to keep his team in the series.
