--G Vesa Toskala was named the NHL's second star of the week ending March 23 after posting a 3-0 record and a 2.00 goals-against average.

The 6-2 loss to Boston was his 28th consecutive start.

--The Leafs had the benefit of the return of LW Boyd Devereaux for the Bruins' series. He had missed 15 games with a knee injury.

"He helps us out on penalty killing because we've been pretty thin back there," coach Paul Maurice said. "He won't score much, but we won't lose anything in terms of speed and jump."

--C/LW Nik Antropov is a possibility to be back for Thursday's rematch in Boston.

"He has (made progress)," coach Paul Maurice said. "But he has to get through (Wednesday's) practice. He's had enough experience with injuries in his career to know when he's ready."

--C Mats Sundin (slight groin tear) is likely out until the weekend.
