The matchup between the Bruins and Maple Leafs came to be after Boston fell to the Ottawa Senators in the regular-season finale. The Panthers took down Toronto, leading to Florida leapfrogging Boston for the Atlantic Division crown and earning a first-round meeting with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
"No. You gotta beat them all," Bruins goalie Linus Ullmark told reporters after Boston's 3-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators at TD Garden, per 98.5 The Sports Hub's Ty Anderson.
The Bruins really have had Toronto's number since Jim Montgomery took over behind the bench. Boston is 7-1-0 against the Maple Leafs over the last two seasons.
The Bruins and Leafs last faced each other in the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2019 with Boston taking a first-round series in seven games.
