GAME LOG

Auston Matthews - Four-game goal streak Matthews scored a goal Saturday in a 2-1 overtime win over Tampa Bay in Game 6. With the win, Toronto took the opening round series 4-2.
Impact Matthews scored his fifth goal of the postseason with a one-timer from the top of the right circle in the second period. He had called for the puck and T.J. Brodie obliged with a perfect pass from the left point. Matthews is riding a four-game, five-goal streak, and he has points (five goals, four assists) in all six of the Leafs games this postseason.

Morgan Rielly - Five-game, eight-point streak Rielly got an assist on the game-winning goal Saturday in a 2-1 overtime victory over the Lightning in Game 6.
Impact Rielly has been one of the best Leafs on the ice in the opening round. He's on a five-game, eight-point scoring streak (three goals, five assists). The Leafs move on after a 4-2 series win and will face either the Bruins or Panthers in Round 2.

Michael Bunting - Plays in Game 6 win Bunting (healthy scratch) played 16:21 in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Lightning in Game 6.
Impact He slotted back into the top six and also saw 1:37 on the power play. He laid two hits and fired one shot. Bunting did a solid job keeping his cool and will need to continue to do more of that in Round 2 once the Leafs know their opponent. One of the Bruins or Panthers will emerge as its combatant after Sunday's Game 7 matchup.

Matthew Knies - Instrumental on series winner Knies picked up an assist on the game-winning goal Saturday in a 2-1 overtime victory over Tampa Bay in Game 6.
Impact Once again, Knies acquitted himself like a veteran in the game and was instrumental in setting up the series-clinching goal. He controlled the puck behind the net and maintained possession before getting it to John Tavares, who circled the net. Knies once again got the puck and popped it back to the captain, who skated out, wheeled around a fired a shot that ricocheted off a Bolts player's skate and in. The young man is big, strong and fast, and that's a great combination in Toronto's top-six.

John Tavares - Johnny on the spot in OT Tavares scored the game- and series-winning goal in overtime in Saturday's 2-1 victory over the Lightning. With the win, the Leafs take the Round 1 series 4-2.
Impact Tavares powered his way to the goal early in overtime. He circled the net with the puck and then turned and wheeled as he got to the bottom of the right circle. Morgan Rielly had driven the net and tied up Bolts defender Darren Raddysh at the same moment, and Tavares' shot went off Raddysh's skate and past an unmoving Andrei Vasilevskiy. Tavares finishes Round 1 with four goals and three assists in six games, and he moves in Round 2 for the first time since 2015-16.
APRIL 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ilya Samsonov - Saves best for last game in series Samsonov made 31 saves in a 2-1 overtime win over the Lightning in Game 6 on Saturday. The Leafs clinch the Round 1 series 4-2.
Impact It was Samsonov's best game of the series -- he was dialled in all night long. The only goal he allowed came off the stick of Bolts' captain Steven Stamkos in the second period. With the win, Samsonov became first Leafs goalie to carry his team to a playoff series win since 2004.
APRIL 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Erik Gustafsson - Good to play Saturday Gustafsson (upper body) is slated to return for Game 6 against Tampa Bay on Saturday, according to Bruce Arthur of the Toronto Star.
Impact Gustafsson last played April 8 due to the injury. He had seven goals and 42 points in 70 regular-season contests between Washington and Toronto. The Maple Leafs are projected to use seven defensemen Saturday, so forward Sam Lafferty is expected to be a healthy scratch.
APRIL 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ilya Samsonov - Starting in Tampa Bay Samsonov will guard the road goal in Game 6 against Tampa Bay on Saturday, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
Impact Samsonov stopped 34 of 37 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Lightning. He has a 3-2 record this postseason, surrendering 18 goals on 158 shots. Tampa Bay ranks fifth in the playoffs this year with 32.8 shots per game.

Mac Hollowell - Snags assist for Marlies Hollowell (kneecap) was back in the lineup for AHL Toronto's playoff clash with Utica on Thursday, recording one assist and two shots.
Impact Considering Hollowell played in just six games for the Maple Leafs this season, he is unlikely to be added to the postseason roster, at least as long as the minor-league club is in the Calder Cup Playoffs. While far from a lock for a spot, Hollowell could be in the mix for the 23-man roster with Toronto heading into the 2023-24 campaign.
