WATCH: Leafs goalie Matt Murray robs Marchand with save of the year candidate

Share

BOSTON -- Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Matt Murray made one of the best saves of the 2022-23 NHL season in the first couple minutes of Saturday night's matchup against the Boston Bruins.

Bruins forward Brad Marchand took a great pass from Charlie Coyle and had a lot of the net to shoot at, but Murray slid from right to left and thwarted the Boston star with an A+ glove save.

Check out the incredible stop in the video below:

Marchand entered Saturday on a hot streak with 10 points (four goals, six assists) in his last seven games. He nearly had another goal on this sequence, but Murray's athleticism prevailed.

That save by Murray happened a short while before Bruins forward Nick Foligno and Leafs forward Wayne Simmonds engaged in one of the most entertaining fights of the season so far. 

Marchand and the Bruins did get one by Murray later in the first period when Patrice Bergeron scored his 25th career regular season goal versus the Leafs.
