The bitter Atlantic Division rivals met four times during the regular season and the Leafs won the regular season series 3-1.
The Maple Leafs closed their final five games with a 3-2 record while the Bruins lost four of their last five.
This will mark the first time these two teams have met in the postseason since the thrilling seven-game first round series back in 2013. The Bruins came back from a 4-1 game seven deficit and went on to win the Eastern Conference.
The Bruins will host game one of this seven-game series at the TD Garden on Thursday, April 12. The game will be nationally televised on NBC Sports.
