Final
Sundin, Maple Leafs set to face Bruins
Nov 20, 2007 - 2:13 PM Boston (9-7-2) at Toronto (8-8-5) 7:00 pm ESTTORONTO (Ticker) - The Toronto Maple Leafs look to build off a shutout when they host the Boston Bruins in a battle of "Original Six" teams.
Toronto has yielded an NHL-worst 74 goals this season, but Vesa Toskala made 24 saves and Mats Sundin tallied his 10th goal of the season to lead the Maple Leafs to a 3-0 triumph over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.
That was in response to Thursday's 5-2 setback to the Bruins. Marc Savard scored 19 seconds into the game and set up another goal for Boston, which has lost four straight road contests.
Savard, who had a career-high 74 assists last season, is off to another great start. The 30-year-old center leads the Bruins with 16 assists and 20 points this season.
Boston netminder Tim Thomas will hope for more defensive support than he got in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Montreal Canadiens. The Bruins surrendered 52 shots in that contest.
The Bruins' defense has seemingly vanished this month and it has shown in the standings. After giving up just 28 shots per game in the first month of the season, Boston has yielded 38.3 shots per contest in November. As a result, the Bruins have lost five of their eight games this month.
