Patrick Marleau Scores Twice In Game 7
7 years agoToronto Maple Leafs 38-year-old veteran Patrick Marleau was a bright spot early in Wednesday’s Game 7, scoring two early goals for the Maple Leafs, twice giving them the lead and a leg up in the game. Boston Bruins forward Sean Kuraly took a tripping penalty behind the Maple Leafs net in the first minute of the game. On the ensuing man advantage, Marleau redirected a Jake Gardiner point shot between the legs of Tuukka Rask to open the scoring. Four minutes later, Marleau broke into the Bruins zone with linemate Mitchell Marner, and after a few passes between them, Marleau ripped a shot top corner over Rask to reinstate the lead for the Leafs. Marleau’s two goals came on just two shots, which is uncanny, as he also scored twice in Game 3 with a 100 percent shooting percentage. His four goals were enough to lead the team in postseason scoring.
