David Pastrnak scored at 1:54 of overtime, downing the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1 in Game 7, and the Boston Bruins advanced to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs on Saturday.

Hampus Lindholm scored in regulation and added an assist on the winner for the Bruins. Jeremy Swayman made 30 saves.

Leafs goaltender Ilya Samsonov started in net and stopped 29 shots after Joseph Woll, who was outstanding in Games 5 and 6 to help claw his team back into the series, suffered an injury late in the third period of Thursday’s victory that pushed the Original Six matchup to seven.

Matthews returned to the lineup after having been pulled from Game 4 due to an illness and then missing the last two contests with his team facing elimination.

The Maple Leafs have now lost six straight Game 7s – including four straight to the Bruins (2013, 2018, 2019 and 2024).

After a fourth opening-round exit in five seasons, there will be questions about the future of head coach Sheldon Keefe.
