BSJ Game Report: Maple Leafs 4, Bruins 3 — Refs let winner stand, Bergeron leaves in boot taken at Air Canada Centre (Bruins)

Dan Hamilton/USA TODAY Sports

TORONTO -- Not only did the Bruins drop a 4-3 decision to the Toronto Maple Leafs Saturday night at Air Canada Centre, Boston alternate captain Patrice Bergeron was seen leaving the arena with a walking boot on his right. There was no update on his condition, but he didn't appear to be in too much discomfort.

Not sure when he suffered the injury, but he was hit in the right leg by a clearing puck near the benches in the first period and was clearly shaken up a bit as he made his way off the ice. He never missed a shift and logged 19:15 of ice.

Everything else you need to know from the Bruins' loss in quickie form, with BSJ insight and analysis.

How is goalie interference defined? The league needs to figure this out because it's been too inconsistent league-wide all season. With 1:23 remaining in regulation and the game tied at 3-3, the Maples Leafs' Zach Hyman was battling with Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy in front of Boston's net. Clearly, Hyman pushed McAvoy into Tuukka Rask as the puck went back to the point. Toronto's Ron Hainsey took a weak one-timer, but Rask couldn't move to his left in time as the puck went in and proved to be the game-winning goal.
