Jim Montgomery was asked if the Bruins needed more from their top skaters to avoid elimination come Saturday in Boston, and he identified David Pastrnak in particular as needing to provide more to the group.

Boston eventually found a rhythm later in the game, but the Maple Leafs didn't allow much space or open ice for the Bruins to work with. Toronto was playing without star forwardfor the second consecutive outing and while that appeared to galvanize Toronto's bench, the Bruins failed to match their opponents' next-man-up mentality.
The Bruins also were undone by their poor start in Tuesday's Game 5 , and while Montgomery was adamant ahead of Game 6 that that wouldn't be the case, his team did not rise to the occasion as he had hoped. It's eerily familiar territory for the Bruins, who are on the cusp of history they'd rather not see repeated.
