Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Pacioretty could very well have seen his game end more quickly than expected on Tuesday night against the Boston Bruins.
Indeed, the former captain of the Montreal Canadiens made a questionable check against defender Andrew Peeke in the middle of the first period. The officials initially gave him a major penalty for giving the tape.

However, after review, this penalty was simply canceled.
Peeke, meanwhile, suffered an upper body injury and did not return to the game.
It must be said that Pacioretty has added physical play to his range of skills, he who has 32 hits to his record since the start of the season, which is the second highest total among the Maple Leafs.
It was the Torontonians who won the match by a score of 4 to 0. Morgan Rielly, William Nylander, Steven Lorentz and Matthew Knies were the scorers.
