David Pastrnak scored a decisive goal in Game 7 overtime, leading the Boston Bruins to a 2-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. This win not only eliminated the Maple Leafs from the NHL playoffs but also advanced the Bruins to the second round, where they will face the Florida Panthers. The goal, assisted by Hampus Lindholm and Brandon Carlo at 1:54 into overtime, came after a series where the Maple Leafs struggled offensively, never scoring more than three goals in any game. The Bruins' victory sets up a rematch of last year's opening round, which the Panthers won.

Big win for @NHLBruins! But shouldn’t have taken till OT in Game 7. https://t.co/qBDGHOGQ8d
The Leafs finished 2nd in scoring in the regular season…but did not score more than 3 goals in any game this series. They haven’t scored more than 3 in 14 straight playoff games. Scoring 2 or fewer in 13 of those 14. #PlayoffHockey

Maple Leafs tie NHL record by scoring 1 goal or fewer in 5 straight winner-take-all games.
One playoff series win in 20 years now for #Leafs. The frustration of #Leafsforever fan base is completely understandable. So close but not good enough again tonight. Feel for Leaf fans and #NHLBruins must be relieved. Once again - Golf Leafs Golf - thanks to #Bruins in 7 games.

Only the Leafs could take a series in which they had no hope of winning it after game four and still find a way to conjure up a game seven heartbreak. That's a special talent, truly

How do you let that happen if you’re the Leafs?
Hampus Lindholm with a long dump off the end boards that bounced to a speeding David Pastrnak, who put a double move on Samsonov and backhanded it into the net. Game-winner in Game 7 OT. There's 88's superstar moment. He stepped up. Bruins advance 2-1
Poor Leafs, what a curse they are enduring.
The #leafs held a third-period lead in three of the four Game 7 losses in Boston since 2013.
