Maple Leafs Round 1 report cards: Another early playoff exit After another first-round loss, it's bound to be another interesting offseason in Toronto.
What went wrong for the Maple Leafs in their first round exit against the Bruins Special teams, goaltending and a lack of goal scoring all contributed to another Leafs early playoff exit.

William Nylander - Nets lone goal in Game 7 loss Nylander scored a goal on five shots, blocked three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Bruins in Game 7.
Impact Nylander missed three games to begin the series due to a migraine issue, but he showed up late in the first round with three goals over the final two contests. The winger added 18 shots on net, six hits and five blocked shots. While another first-round exit is unfortunate for Toronto, Nylander's future with the team was confirmed when he signed an eight-year contract extension in January. The 28-year-old produced his second straight 40-goal season and finished with a career-high 98 points in 82 regular-season contests, so he should be a solid choice for fantasy managers in the early rounds of drafts in the fall.

Ilya Samsonov - Drops Game 7 in overtime Samsonov allowed two goals on 31 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Bruins in Game 7.
Impact Samsonov put in a strong showing after Joseph Woll (undisclosed) was deemed unavailable for the winner-take-all contest. Samsonov was able to get the game to overtime, but a bank pass from Hampus Lindholm found David Pastrnak in the space between Samsonov and defenseman Morgan Rielly, and Pastrnak was able to convert the decisive goal. Samsonov won just one of his five playoff appearances, allowing 14 goals on 134 shots during the first round. The 27-year-old will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, and the emergence of Woll makes it seem unlikely Samsonov will be coming back to the Maple Leafs after a mediocre campaign.

Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews is available for Game 7 with Bruins after sitting last 2 games
Maple Leafs star and NHL goal-scoring leader Auston Matthews is available for their Game 7 matchup with the Boston BruinsMAY 4 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Auston Matthews - Good to play in Game 7 Matthews (illness) will draw into the lineup for Game 7 versus the Bruins on Saturday, per Jonas Siegel of The Athletic.
Impact Matthews exited Game 4 due to the illness and missed the last two contests entirely. He has a goal, three points and 17 shots in four playoff outings this year. Matthews was immensely important to Toronto's offense during the regular season, providing 69 goals and 107 points across 81 appearances. He's projected to play alongside Pontus Holmberg and Calle Jarnkrok in his return.

Ilya Samsonov - Thrust into service for Game 7 Samsonov is expected to start on the road in Game 7 against Boston on Saturday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Impact Samsonov has struggled in the first round, allowing 12 goals on 103 shots (.883 save percentage) over four outings, which led to him being pulled in favor of Joseph Woll during Game 4. Although Toronto still lost that contest 3-1, which gave Boston a 3-1 series lead, the 25-year-old Woll would start in Games 5 and 6, earning two straight wins while saving 49 of 51 shots. However, Woll is dealing with an injury, so the Leafs will have to put their hopes in Samsonov for the deciding tilt of the series.
