NHL: Toronto Maple Leafs at Boston Bruins - Source: Imagn
The Toronto Maple Leafs didn't get the result they wanted on Saturday night, falling to the Pittsburgh Penguins by a 5-2 final score at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh. The Penguins, who former Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas now manages, improved to 12-13-4 on the season; the Leafs fell to 16-9-2.
Rickard Rakell opened the scoring for the Penguins with a power-play goal to give Pittsburgh the 1-0 lead. Less than two minutes later, Mitch Marner connected for Toronto to knot the score at 1-1. Pittsburgh re-took the lead after Bryan Rust scored his ninth goal, only to have Toronto's William Nylander tie things yet again early in the second period.
With both teams deadlocked in the third period, another former member of the Leafs burned his old club. Michael Bunting connected on the power-play, his sixth goal of the season and giving the Penguins the 3-2 lead.
