The Toronto Maple Leafs are coming off a huge 2-1 victory in game five against the Boston Bruins.

Friday night’s tilt was anything but easy for the Toronto Maple Leafs, proving that these two teams are as evenly matched as can be.

For a series as back-and-forth as this one, it’s important that the Leafs keep this momentum going for their matinée game six face-off on Sunday afternoon.

The Maple Leafs did some good things and did some bad things on Friday night. Regardless, they were able to get the victory and they’ll need some more of that strength going forward to close out the series.

Let’s take a look at three keys to securing a victory in game six and ultimately the series.
