Short shifts key for Tavares in battle with Bergeron. markhmasters has more:
And Tavares put forward an inspired effort, picking up a beautiful assist on the Andreas Johnsson power-play goal. He, Marner and Hyman teamed up with the defensive pair of Jake Muzzin and Nikita Zaitsev to hold Boston’s top line – Brad Marchan, Bergeron and David Pastrnak – to seven shots and no points. In fact, Bergeron and Marchand were both on the ice for Toronto's two power-play goals.
After torching Toronto a year ago, Boston’s top line has contributed just one even-strength goal in the series so far. "It's not easy," Tavares said of his success at the dot."When you see someone consistently over a series they get more and more comfortable with you. I kind of compare it to almost a and a batter so there’s always adjustments being made. You have to be prepared for every, single second you’re out there against them."The Leafs have a done a great job of containing Patrice Bergeron and the Bruins' top line through three games.
