Leafs focus on improving one crucial game skill for pivotal Game 5

The Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs are battling out in a series that has come down to a best two out of three, with the first contest of this last stretch on tonight. 

Maple Leafs head coach Mike Babcock is focused on improving the team's penalty kill, especially after the Bruins got away with two power-play goals during Wednesday's 5-2 win in Toronto. 

"They've got real good players, let's not kid ourselves," Babcock said. "But those two goals tonight, other than scoring them, we didn't look after it. We've got to fix it.

"The bottom line is you can't keep giving power-play goals up. Those are just freebies those two. Not that they didn't make plays or anything like that, but we weren't in the spots we were supposed to be in."

The Maple Leafs, who were 18th on the penalty kill during the regular season, are 6 of 11 (54.5 percent) so far in this series against Boston.
