After taking 3-2 series lead, Maple Leafs eye eliminating Boston on Sunday
Muzzin's wife, Courtney, gave birth to a daughter, Luna, on Thursday, the off day between Games 4 and 5. Muzzin was there for the delivery but got caught in some air travel delays while making his way to Boston in time to assist on Auston Matthews' opening goal in the 2-1 victory Friday night that gave Toronto a 3-2 lead in the series.
Friday night's assist came midway through the third period of a scoreless game . Muzzin moved in from the left point and found Matthews at the right faceoff circle for a one-timer past Tuukka Rask. “Luckily, we were on the right side of things,” Hyman said. “I didn't watch it. I didn't want to watch it. But we're just happy they counted it.”
They feel so good after extending their first-round series against the Golden Knights with a 5-2 victory at home in Game 5 that centre Tomas Hertl predicted in a postgame television interview played in the arena that San Jose would win Game 6 on the road to send the series to the limit because “we're a better team than them.”
