Down 4-2 with 2:14 left in the game, Bruins forward David Krejci faked a shot from the point and sent a slap pass to David Pastrnak hiding out on the wing.

Andersen somehow got the blade of his twig on the puck and deflected it harmlessly away from the net.
The Leafs would go on to win Game Three at home and narrow Boston’s series lead to 2-1.
Auston Matthews would score his first goal of the postseason in front of his parents at Air Canada Centre.
