Toronto Thumbnails


When, where: Tonight, 7, at Air Canada Centre, Toronto.
TV, radio: NESN, WBZ (1030).
Records: Boston is 29-23-2-3; Toronto is 23-27-6-3.
Goals: Mats Sundin 24, Nik Antropov 19, Alexei Ponikarovsky 14.
Assists: Sundin 35, Tomas Kaberle 29, Jason Blake 25.
Goaltending: Vesa Toskala (20-18-5, 2.68 GAA), Andrew Raycroft (2-8-4, 4.07).
Head to head: This is the fifth of eight meetings. Toronto won the last game but lost the first three.
Miscellany: The Maple Leafs are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, but only 8 points behind the eighth-place Bruins . . . The Leafs have allowed 190 goals, tied for second most in the league . . . Toskala, signed in the offseason, has held up his end of the bargain, but Raycroft has not held an opponent to fewer than three goals since November . . . The Leafs have 20 one-goal losses . . . One possible explanation for the Leafs' dismal record: They are the only team in the league to rank in the bottom three in power-play and penalty-killing percentages.
