The Toronto Maple Leafs staved off elimination in a 2-1 victory in the team's pivotal Game 5 matchup against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday.

Maple Leafs star and NHL goal-scoring leader Auston Matthews did not play. Matthews has been dealing with an unspecified illness and had just four shots combined in Games 3 and 4. It comes after he had the Game 2 winner for the Maples Leafs.
