Bozak just scored his 1st NHL goal to give the Leafs a 1-0 lead over the Flyers in the 2nd period. End of 2nd now.

Edit: Leafs up 2-0 end of 2nd and Tyler is +2 on the night so far.

Add an assist to the 2nd Leafs goal to Bozak. That gives him 4 points in 3 games with a period still to go tonight.

Bozak named #1 star in Leafs 4-0 win. He ended up with a goal and an assist and was +2.

Carle -1 for the night.
