The Bruins were winless in their last three games but secured the much-needed victory against the Maple Leafs in a crucial battle for the top of the Atlantic Division.Pavel Zacha scored two goals, Derek Forbot and Brandon Carlo chipped in with a goal each, while A.J. Greer scored the fifth to seal the win for the Bruins. Goaltender Linus Ullmark made 33 saves with .943 SV%.All-Star representative Mitchell Marner scored on the powerplay for the home team. He now has 60 points this season, with 19 goals and 41 assists. A goal in the third period by Calle Jarnkrok gave the Leafs some hope of making a comeback, but Zacha spoiled the party with two late goals. Ilya Samsonov started in the Maple Leafs' net for the eighth straight game and made 24 saves.Toronto's star players David Pastrnak and William Nylander had a silent night and were unable to add to their goal tally. It seemed like both teams had the perfect plan to lockdown each other's key offensive players.The Bruins will be represented by Linus Ullmark and David Pastrnak at the 2023 NHL All-Star Game on February 3. Mitch Marner will be the sole representative of the Maple Leafs after the Florida Panthers' Aleksander Barkov replaced Auston Matthews, who has been ruled out due to injury.
