Bruce Cassidy, Tuukka Rask address refs' non-goalie interference call on controversial Maple Leafs goal

The Maple Leafs' go-ahead goal in their Game 5 win over the Bruins was a controversial one.

The game was scoreless until Auston Matthews got the Leafs on the board in the third period with some help from teammate Zach Hyman, who appeared to interfere with Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask. The B's challenged for goalie interference, but to no avail.

Boston ended up losing by a score of 2-1 and now are on the brink of elimination with the series at 3-2 in favor of Toronto.

After the game, Rask and B's head coach Bruce Cassidy made it clear that they believed Hyman made contact with Rask, preventing him from getting a chance to make the save. Hear what they had to say below:

The Bruins will look to stave off elimination on Sunday and force a Game 7.
