Saturday's matchup between the rival Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs wasn't without controversy.
With 1:23 remaining in the final frame, Maple Leafs blue-liner Ron Hainsey beat Bruins netminder Tuukka Rask with a point shot only moments after he was bumped in the crease.
The play was reviewed for goalie interference but the on-ice call ultimately stood. Rask disagreed with that decision postgame.
"I'm pretty sure I would've stopped that puck if I was there," Rask told TSN's Frank Seravalli. "I just couldn't get there on time. I was interfered with."
Crucial to the win was that it gave the Maple Leafs 83 points on the season, moving them one ahead of the Bruins for second in the Atlantic.
