BOSTON — The secondary scoring has been an issue for the Bruins to begin the 2019-20 season, but it was the reason Boston took the lead Tuesday night at TD Garden.
The B’s and Toronto Maple Leafs were knotted at two in the third when Brett Ritchie found the back of the net.
Michael Hutchinson blocked Jake DeBrusk’s initial shot, but the puck bounced right to Ritchie’s stick, who was able to light the lamp from the slot 6:35 into the third period.
