Semi-finals Game 4: Boston 4 at Toronto 2

Four different Boston Bruins players scored in a 4-2 victory over Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 4 of their semi-finals series at Maple Leaf Gardens.

Bruins goalie Terry Sawchuk made 25 saves as Boston took a commanding 3-1 series lead. Game 5 will be in the Boston Garden on Saturday.

Bruins took control in the second period after a 1-1 tie in the first 20 minutes.

Johnny Peirson and Larry Regan scored in the second period to give Bruins a 3-1 lead heading into the third stanza. Regan's goal came on the power play.

Vic Stasiuk gave Bruins a 4-1 lead with a slap shot past Toronto goalie Ed Chadwick at 6:16 of the third period.

Bruins came out strong to start the game, taking the Toronto crowd out of it by dominating the first several minutes, with a lot of puck possession time deep in Maple Leafs' zone.

The hard work paid off as defenseman Jack Bionda pounced on a loose puck near the Toronto goal crease and slammed it past Chadwick at 4:09 to give Bruins a 1-0 lead.

Toronto's George Armstrong tied the game about four minutes later with a weak, fluttering shot from the point that somehow eluded Boston goalie Terry Sawchuk.

Both Toronto goals came on the power play.

Bionda had a goal and an assist---as did Vic Stasiuk---and Leo Boivin chipped in with two assists for Boston, which had just 20 shots on goal for the entire game.
