Toronto, which lost 4-2 in Game 6 at home Sunday with the opportunity to close the series, will be playing its second consecutive Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Bruins and third in the past seven seasons.
Boston won 5-4 in overtime in 2013 and 7-4 last season.

The Maple Leafs insist those demons have been exorcised. Only time will tell if they actually have.
"It's a new year," Maple Leafs goalie Frederik Andersen said. "The comparisons, it's not where we're focused. We're focused on getting better for the next game.
"We're trying to make something happen. I thought we gave ourselves a chance (in Game 6). We'll have to do it in Boston."
Toronto has failed to do that in the past.
In 2013, the Maple Leafs led 4-1 in the third period, but the Bruins rallied, including scoring twice in the final 1:22 of regulation before winning in overtime. Only two members of the current team, defenseman Jake Gardiner and forward Nazem Kadri, played in that game, and Kadri won't play this time after being suspended for cross-checking Bruins forward Jake DeBrusk in Game 2.
