A 3-1 win in Toronto last night leaves the Boston Bruins one victory away from advancing in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Bruins lead the series three games to one.

The B's played the perfect road game, getting great goalie tending, playing good defense and being opportunistic on offense.

And they did all this without their top center Patrice Bergeron, who was a pregame scratch from the lineup with an upper body injury.

Tuukka Rask was brilliant stopping 31 shots.

Defenseman Torey Krug scored just 28 seconds into the game but a little more than seven minutes later the Maple Leafs tied it at 1-1.

Brad Marchand scored what turned out to be the game winner in the second period.

Rookie Jake DeBrusk added insurance with a third period goal.

Game five of the series is Saturday night back at Boston Garden. A win means it's on to the second round of the playoffs.
