Game 3: Bruins at Maple Leafs

- KEY PLAYERS NEED TO KNOW UP NEXT

AIR CANADA CENTRE FACEOFF: 7 p.m. TV: CBC RADIO: Sportsnet 590 The FAN Pastrnak/Rielly Defenceman Morgan Rielly has been on the ice for far too many Bruins goals through the first two games of this series. He watched Bruins sniper David Pastrnak score two of his three goals Saturday night in Boston. Rielly and the rest of the Leafs defence haven’t been physical enough, allowing Pastrnak and linemates Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand ample room to do damage. The line has 20 points in two games — 14 in Game 2 alone, with Pastrnak racking up six of his nine to date. That tied Phil Esposito’s record for points after two games in a playoff series. The Leafs’ second defensive pair of Jake Gardiner and Nikita Zaitsev was on the ice for the first four goals against in Game 2 ... Leafs offensive leaders Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner and James van Riemsdyk have accounted for just three points combined. Matthews is pointless and minus-2 ... Leafs goalie Freddie Andersen has allowed eight goals in less than four periods. Game 4 Thursday, ACC, 7 p.m. Mark Zwolinski
