Auston Matthews celebrates after scoring in game 5 against the Bruins<\/p><\/div>\n

Last night\u2019s game was do or die for the Maple Leafs, and for Frederik Andersen<\/a> and the Leafs, they chose the latter beating the Bruins 4-2 and forcing Game 6. Now all that is needed is two more wins, and Toronto fans will be pleased.<\/p>\n

Andersen was a key component to the win last night racking up a staging 42 saves. He survived a vicious third period as the Bruins challenged hard and while pausing to take a drink, an exhausted Andersen said,<\/p>\n

Talking about the game, Andersen said,<\/p>\n

“We want to battle for each other. We want to play for each other in this locker room.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Toronto\u2019s James van Riemsdyk and Tyler Bozak each scored a goal and earned assists, as did Andreas Johnsson and Connor Brown. The Leafs are trailing Boston 3-2 in the series and will again face a do or die situation on Monday as Game 6 gets underway<\/strong>. One thing is certain, and that is the Bruins will be steely focused, and unless Toronto is on their game, the Bruins will prevail.<\/p>\n

Andersen, who Don Cherry<\/a> considers the best goalie in the NHL at the moment has a save percentage of .880 in the series and is one of the major factors that the Leafs are still here.<\/p>\n

Frederik Andersen added,<\/p>\n

“You’ve got to respond right away. That’s hockey for you. A lot of stuff can go wrong and you can feel like you’re not getting any bounces your way, but you’ve just got to battle through it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Boston\u2019s Sean Kuraly, David Brackles and Noel Acciari each scored. Bergeron, who was off due to an upper-body injury, returned to the lineup but that didn\u2019t help Boston get the job done. Rask wasn\u2019t happy with his performance last night after letting in four goals before being pulled. Commenting, he said,<\/p>\n

“Probably could’ve stopped more pucks with my eyes closed,” Rask said. “It’s on me, but (I’m) moving on to the next one and we’ll finish it out in Toronto.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Boston dropped the ball during power plays managing to only capitalize on one of six and that included one that saw the Bruins with a two man advantage.<\/p>\n
