Auston Matthews and Andreas Johnsson each had a goal and an assist as the Toronto Maple Leafs now have a 2-1 series lead after a 3-2 win over the Boston Bruins in Game 3 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on Monday night.

The Leafs had two power play goals in the second period after failing to score on the man-advantage in the first two games. Matthews recorded his first two points of the series, scoring a goal that put Toronto up 2-1 and adding an assist on Johnsson’s game-winning goal. Both of those goals came on the power play.

All goals came in the second period. Trevor Moore opened the scoring with assists from Morgan Rielly and Tyler Ennis. But just 52 seconds later, David Krejci tied it for Boston. After the two power-play goals from Toronto, Charlie Coyle brought the Bruins within one, scoring a power-play goal of their own with just 38 seconds remaining in the second period.

Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask almost had to leave the game in the second period when John Tavares was pushed into Rask by Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy. Rask stayed in the game and made 31 saves, despite the loss. His counterpart Frederik Andersen made 34 saves for the win.

It wasn’t all positive news for Toronto on Monday though, as Nazem Kadri was suspended for the remainder of the series for a cross-check on Bruins forward Jake DeBrusk late in Game 2. Kadri was also suspended in last year’s playoff series versus Boston, although it was just three games.

Game 4 is Wednesday night at Scotiabank Arena.
