BOSTON — Every Game 7 needs its hero.
But when you consider the Toronto Maple Leafs’ roster ahead of their deja vu-showdown in Boston, a few components need to elevate more than others.
Frederik Andersen has been a backbone in net (.950 save percentage at even-strength), even in the losses. Morgan Rielly has performed at a level worthy of the mild local outrage that he was left off the list of Norris finalists. And no one has scored as often as Auston Matthews.
