(3) TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS AT (2) BOSTON BRUINS – GAME 7 AT 7 P.M. ET ON NBCSN

Boston forced tonight’s decisive Game 7 with a 4-2 win in Game 6 in Toronto on Sunday on NBC. Brad Marchand led the Bruins to victory in Game 6 with a pair of goals and an assist. This marks the second straight year that the Maple Leafs and Bruins will require a Game 7 in their First Round series. The Bruins won last year’s Game 7 in Boston, 7-4, propelled by four unanswered third period goals. Veteran Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara will play in his 13th career Game 7 tonight, which will tie him with Patrick Roy and Scott Stevens for the all-time Stanley Cup Playoffs record.

Analyst Keith Jones on Brad Marchand: “The more hectic the game is, the more important the game is, the better he plays. He’s fired up now and you’ve got an issue. It’s going to be very difficult for Toronto to slow things down.”

(3) VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS AT (2) SAN JOSE SHARKS – GAME 7 AT 10 P.M. ET ON NBCSN

The Sharks forced a Game 7 with a 2-1 double-overtime win in Vegas on Sunday night. Tomas Hertlscored shorthanded midway through the second overtime to life San Jose to victory, while goaltender Martin Jones had a career-high and franchise-record 58 saves in the win. San Jose will host tonight’s Game 7 which will also be the first-ever Game 7 in Golden Knights history. San Jose has won two straight games to avoid elimination and the winner of tonight’s Game 7 will face the Colorado Avalanche in the Second Round.

Analyst Jeremy Roenick on Martin Jones: “Martin Jones has shown he can play in really big situations and Game 6 was no different. I thought it was the best game I’ve ever seen him play. He shut the door and gave his team the will to win.”
