Marchand Sets New Bruins Playoff Goal Record in 3-1 Victory Over Maple Leafs in Game 4

Saturday, April 27th, 2024

Brad Marchand set a new record for the most playoff goals in Boston's history, netting his 56th during a game where the Bruins secured a 3-1 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs in the fourth game. Alongside Marchand, who also provided an assist, contributions came from James van Riemsdyk and David Pastrnak with goals, and Jeremy Swayman with crucial saves, pushing Boston closer to progressing to the following round.

Mitch Marner was the sole player to score for Toronto. The game noted the absence of Auston Matthews, the NHL's top scorer in the regular season, who missed the third period due to an injury not disclosed. William Nylander made a comeback to the series in this game, having missed the initial three matches.

The Maple Leafs saw goaltenders Ilya Samsonov and Joseph Woll splitting duties for this match. Boston's scoring was initiated by Van Riemsdyk, followed by a power-play goal from Marchand to increase their lead. A late second-period goal by Pastrnak pushed Boston ahead by three goals. Marner did score for Toronto in the third period, but his effort was insufficient to overturn the Bruins' victory.
