The Toronto Maple Leafs bagged a critical regulation victory over the Boston Bruins on Monday when they capitalized on a late man advantage awarded on a questionable penalty call on Dominic Moore.
Given the stakes, Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy was understandably aggravated, calling the interference minor "egregious."
He added in conversation with Sportsnet's Luke Fox, "It was a great game until the penalty call."
Moore was flagged for this bump on an engaged Nikita Soshnikov while angling for position with his net-front drive.
Tyler Bozak scored on the ensuing power play, giving the Maple Leafs their first lead with less than two minutes remaining in the game. They would score twice into the empty net to complete the four-game season sweep.
Toronto's now just one point behind Boston with a game in hand in the chase for the final top-three seed in the Atlantic Division.
