Talk about some pretty passing on the Toronto Maple Leafs first goal of Saturday’s game in Boston.

Auston Matthews started the play in the neutral zone with a quick pass to Nazem Kadri and William Nylander finished it off with a sweet move to the forehand into a wide open net after he caught Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask going the other way.

That’s 11 goals for Nylander in his rookie season.

This is a big game for both clubs in the Eastern Conference playoff race.

The Bruins can put five points between them and the Maple Leafs with a regulation win tonight, while Toronto is trying to snap a three-game losing streak.
