With the playoffs looming, the Toronto Maple Leafs will play it safe against the visiting Boston Bruins on Friday night in the regular-season finale.
Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe said after practice on Thursday that 60-goal scorer Auston Matthews, his linemate Mitchell Marner, starting goaltender Jack Campbell and possibly captain John Tavares would be rested for the Friday contest.
The Maple Leafs (53-21-7, 113 points) have clinched home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs, when they will play either the Bruins (51-25-5, 107 points) or the Tampa Bay Lightning (50-23-8, 108 points) starting on Monday.
The Bruins defeated the visiting Buffalo Sabres 5-0 on Thursday with captain Patrice Bergeron scoring three goals to reach 400 for his career. Tampa Bay lost 5-2 to the host Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday. Boston has the regulation-win tiebreaker over Tampa Bay, which will visit the New York Islanders on Friday.
Marner will fall three points short of reaching 100 for the season, but he still posted a career best total in that category.
Injured Maple Leafs forwards Ondrej Kase and Michael Bunting and defenseman Rasmus Sandin will not play Friday but are practicing.
Keefe is eager to know the first-round matchup.
Linus Ullmark made 37 saves to earn the shutout on Thursday in Boston, and Jeremy Swayman is scheduled to start on Friday. Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy, however, would not name a No. 1 goaltender for the playoffs.
Ullmark has no playoff experience, while Swayman has appeared in just one postseason game, coming off the bench.
