Back on March 7, 2025, the Toronto Maple Leafs made one of the biggest deadline moves of the season: they traded forward Fraser Minten, along with a 2026 first-round pick (top five protected) and a 2025 fourth-round pick, to the Boston Bruins in exchange for veteran defenseman Brandon Carlo. Carlo arrived in Toronto to help improve a solid defensive core, offering size, shutdown ability, and penalty-kill experience.
On a 2-on-1 in overtime, Fraser Minten kept it for himself and sizzled a wrist shot past goalie Arvid Soderblom to lift the B's to a 4-3 victory. Nikita Zadorov made a good defensive play in the Boston zone to send Minten off with Morgan Geekie on the wining play. Joonas Korpisalo (21 saves) also made two terrific saves in OT, one on a Connor Bedard clean break-in.
