Nathan Horton's third-period goal triggered the Bruins' improbable rally over the Leafs.
Down 4-1 with a little more than 14 minutes left, the Bruins had little energy and they were hearing it from the crowd. But Horton's goal provided a jolt. "It was tough there on the bench, getting booed, and looking at the time clock and watching the seconds count down," said Brad Marchand. ... "After [Horton] got that first one for us that started the climb back, we see the emotion on the bench and guys started to believe. That's what we needed." May 14 - 8:48 AM

Linemate David Krejci credited Nathan Horton with taking a hit to make a play on his overtime winner in Game 4 Wednesday night.

Toronto captain Dion Phaneuf stepped up on Horton during the extra session, but he managed to get the puck to Krejci who scored his third goal of the contest to give Boston a 3-1 series lead. Horton looked a bit shaken up after the hit, but later said he was fine. He had two helpers Wednesday night, but failed to score a goal for the first time in four games. Overall, he has six points (three goals, three assists) against Toronto in the series.

Nathan Horton has scored in three straight games against Toronto heading into Game 4 Wednesday night.

Two of his markers have been game winners and as a result the Bruins hold a 2-1 series lead in their quarterfinal series versus the Maple Leafs. Horton didn't get to play in the postseason last year because of a concussion, so he's excited to be back and competing again. "I just really want to do well," he said. "I'm moving my feet. I'm not thinking too much, just playing my game. Playing better has a lot to do with having a lot of fun. It's only been three games, but it's fun to play in the playoffs, that's for sure." Horton has also chipped in an assist and owns a plus-5 rating. He is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this summer and would like to re-sign with Boston, but with the playoffs still going he isn't thinking about that situation yet.

Nathan Horton had the game-winning goal and an assist in Monday night's 5-2 Game 4 win.

Horton's goal turned out to be the game winner after Phil Kessel scored 47 seconds into the third period, but it was the timing of Horton's goal that mattered the most. After throwing shot after shot at the net, the Maple Leafs finally got on the board at 13:45 of the second period to cut Boston's lead to 2-1. Unfortunately for Toronto, Horton scored just 50 seconds later to make it 3-1 and Daniel Paille potted a short-handed goal at 16:37 to up it to 4-1.

The series is now tied at 1-1 and will head to Toronto.

Nathan Horton may have benefited from his five-game layoff due to what was believed to be a wrist injury.

He returned to action for Game 1 against Toronto looking refreshed and was very effective scoring a goal, administering three hits and taking three shots on Leaf netminder James Reimer. Boston coach Calude Julien even admitted that the rest may have helped Horton. "I thought he was coming along pretty well," Julien said. "When he got hurt, I thought he was coming along, I liked his game. But at the same time, maybe the rest did help. But he was a good player down the stretch. Had he kept going, I think we would’ve seen a good player to finish the season off." Anyway you look at it, Horton seems to be poised for a big post-season. Keep that in mind when setting your playoff pool rosters.

As expected, Nathan Horton returned to Boston's lineup in Wednesday's playoff opener against Toronto.
