#CSP #NHL #LEAFSNATION
We are now in do-or-die territory for the 2023-24 edition of the Maple Leafs. They are coming off an uninspired performance in Game 4, which has left the fanbase teeming with frustration and clamoring for change. The history of this group and the series to date does not give much optimism that they will be able to pull off a comeback against the Boston Bruins. Everybody is counting them out, and we will see how they respond, with drastic ramifications potentially around the corner at the highest levels of the organization if they don’t pull off a miracle.
All attention will be focused on Auston Matthews‘s availability. He departed Game 4 with an illness. He briefly skated this morning but did not take part in line rushes. According to Sheldon Keefe, team doctors will determine his status later today. Looking for a spark and a few more game-changing saves, Joseph Woll is projected to start tonight for the Maple Leafs. Timothy Liljegren is drawing back in for TJ Brodie, who had a rough night in his first appearance in the series in Game 4. If Matthews is able to play, expect Nick Robertson to draw out of the lineup after an ineffectual showing on the fourth line with David Kampf and Ryan Reaves.
The Bruins will look to close out the series backstopped by Jeremy Swayman, who has been dominant with a league-leading 8.5 Goals Saved Above Expected in the playoffs. Matt Grzelcyk will replace Kevin Shattenkirk on the Bruins’ blueline after he was scratched for both games in Toronto.
