The Bruins are moving on.

Boston came out on top of a back-and-forth Game 7 against the Toronto Maple Leafs and will now face the Tampa Bay Lightning in the second round.

Down 4-3 heading into the third period, the Bruins erupted for four goals over the final 20 minutes, resulting in one of the highest-scoring Game 7 wins in NHL history.

The Bruins and Lightning will now meet after finishing third and fourth overall in the regular-season standings, separated by a single point.
