Maple Leafs 6, Bruins 1: Phil Kessel scored twice and Toronto erupted for four goals in the second period to breeze to its fourth straight home victory.

Linemates Tyler Bozak and James van Riemsdyk each collected a power-play goal and two assists while Peter Holland also scored with the man advantage for the Maple Leafs, who have erupted for 16 goals during their three-game winning streak. Morgan Rielly also scored, fellow defenseman Cody Franson notched a pair of assists and Jonathan Bernier finished with 25 saves in the rout.

Reigning Vezina Trophy winner Tuukka Rask was chased early in the second period after yielding four goals on 16 shots for the Bruins, who saw their five-game winning streak come to a halt. Niklas Svedberg relieved Rask and made 15 saves while blue-liner Dennis Seidenberg scored his second goal of the season.

Kessel reeled in captain Dion Phaneuf's pass off the glass before wiring a shot from the right faceoff circle that sailed over the shoulder of Rask at 6:46 of the first period to draw first blood. Kessel wasn't done as the forward slapped the puck away from Boston's Patrice Bergeron at center ice before skating in and wristing a shot from the left circle past Rask 18 seconds into the middle session.

Toronto kept the pressure on as Holland's shot from above the left circle was kicked out by Rask, but Rielly swatted the rebound just inside the far post at 1:34. The Maple Leafs chased Rask after van Riemsdyk's centering feed from the left circle was redirected home by Bozak 1:58 later.
