Monday night, the Leafs and Bruins battle in Toronto in what could be considered a must-win game for the Buds if they want to potentially finish the season in a top three spot in the Atlantic.
Entering play Monday night, the Leafs are three points back of the Bruins for third in the division with one game in hand, and they're one point up on the Islanders for the final Wild Card spot in the East.
Toronto and Boston games are always entertaining, and the last time these two teams met, Toronto squeaked out a 6-5 win thanks to a William Nylander hat trick.
Not to be outdone, Nylander's good friend David Pastrnak scored twice and tallied one assist in the loss.
When asked on Monday ahead of the game if Pastrnak met up with Nylander, he responded with a wonderful answer that confirms he's a full believer in superstitions.
Pastrnak doesn't want Nylander scoring three goals again, and he'll do anything to prevent that from happening, even if he doesn't get to hang out with his good friend.
The two former linemates for Södertälje (hockey team in Sweden, the two played together from the 2012-13 season to 2013-14 season) will try and one up each other Monday night, but both know the win is much more important.
Catch the game on TSN4 at 7:30pm ET (for viewers in the Leafs region) and be sure to tune into the pre-game coverage as a very special TSN Original is airing.
