Maple Leafs top Bruins in OT

Matthew Knies scored at 2:26 of overtime, and the Toronto Maple Leafs avoided elimination with a 2-1 win against the Boston Bruins in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference First Round at TD Garden on Tuesday.

Knies put in a rebound at the edge of the crease after Jeremy Swayman stopped a driving John Tavares at the right post.

“That was a pretty incredible play by [Tavares] there to drive the net and make that play happen,” Knies said. “It all started with him, and then it kind of just fell in my stick and I was fortunate to bury that one and send us back home.”

Game 6 of the best-of-7 series will be at Toronto on Thursday (8 p.m. ET; CBC, TVAS, SN, NESN, TBS, MAX).

Jake McCabe scored, and Joseph Woll made 27 saves in his first start of the series for Toronto, the No. 3 seed from the Atlantic Division.

“You want to build positive momentum your own way,” Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe said. “And yeah, you want to make them be uncomfortable. You want to make them have to pack up and head out to Toronto.”

Trent Frederic scored, and Swayman made 31 saves for Boston, the No. 2 seed from the Atlantic.
