Toronto has also won 14 of its past 17 games and is surging as the playoffs near. Nazem Kadri had two power-play goals and Mitch Marner also scored for the Maple Leafs, who outshot the Bruins 36-23.

The Maple Leafs scored twice on three power-play opportunities and dictated the tempo for much of the game.

Brad Marchand had two goals for the Bruins, who are 2-2-0 during a five-game road trip. They are 17-3-2 in their past 21 games on the road. Boston has gone 0-for-12 on the power play during this road trip. The Bruins play at Buffalo on Sunday before returning home.

Defenseman Nick Holden, who was obtained in a trade with the New York Rangers on Tuesday, was a scratch but could see action in the next game.

Marchand and Marner traded goals just over a minute apart early in the first period. The Maple Leafs took a 2-1 lead when Kadri scored on a power play with 9:30 left. Marchand continued to outclass Toronto's defense and tied the game with 4:58 remaining.

The Bruins took the lead 3-2 on a goal by Jake DeBrusk just 1:55 into the second period. Kadri answered for the Maple Leafs with his second goal and tied the game 3-3 with less than a minute remaining in the second.

Toronto center Auston Matthews, who leads the team with 28 goals and 50 points, was scratched and is listed as day-to-day with a shoulder injury. Matthews went to the bench late in the 4-3 shootout win over the New York Islanders on Thursday night. Matthews missed 10 previous games this season with a back injury and a concussion.

The Maple Leafs are 7-4 without him in the lineup.

Toronto won for the third time in four meetings with the Bruins this season.
