Maple Leafs’ Auston Matthews explains costly error on allowed OT goal against Bruins

The Toronto Maple Leafs’ sudden struggles continued on Saturday night with a 4-3 loss to the Boston Bruins. After a 6-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday and a 5-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Thursday, the temperature was high ahead of the game against Boston, with expectations of rebounding in a crucial division match. .

Unfortunately for them, the temperature was just as hot for the Bruins, who had lost three games heading into Saturday night and carried a sub-.500 record. Ultimately, it was Boston who would prevail in the battle against the high temperatures.

Auston Matthews had a bit of a hero-to-zero moment in the game, scoring with less than two minutes left to take the game to overtime, but he followed it up with what looked like a pass into no man’s land, a pass that Boston would do. intercept and eventually convert to win the game. At first glance, the giveaway seemed like a bit of a careless decision, but it turned out to be a miscommunication between him, Mitch Marner and Morgan Rielly.
