Bruins score 4 in 3rd to beat Maple Leafs 7-4 in Game 7
Jake DeBrusk scored his second goal of the game to break a third-period tie, and the Boston Bruins came from behind to beat the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 7 -- again -- winning 7-4 on Wednesday night to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

This Game 7 loss to Boston officially ends the honeymoon/first-round education process for the Toronto Maple Leafs. One and done in the playoffs won't cut it next season. Neither will one goal and one assist in seven games for Auston Matthews, a franchise player who was a complete passenger in this postseason.
Patriots don't have major need at safety, but could look to future
The Patriots already have a mix of talent and experience at the position, which means they might look to add a developmental prospect to the fold.

If Patriots think ahead, they could tap strong class at guard
The greater need is at left tackle, but if the board falls a certain way and a center or guard is the best value, the Patriots could go that route.

The nominees for the Jack Adams Award for coach of the year, as voted on by the NHL Broadcasters Association: Jared Bednar of the Colorado Avalanche, Bruce Cassidy of the Boston Bruins and Gerard Gallant of the Vegas Golden Knights. One wishes there was an extra slot for John Hynes of the New Jersey Devils, whose team improved by 27 points, but these are solid choices. Gallant's going win in a landslide for guiding the expansion Knights to a 109-point season and a division title.
