Most likely Garry Monahan, based on facial looks (and hair) and knowing he was LH forward on Leafs in year this picture was taken which has to be either 73/74 or 74/75 given the Bruins players on the ice (Dallas Smith, Gilbert, Espo, Vadnais). I can't think of any other Leafs in those seasons who looked close to that.
As a trivial meaningless aside, the Bruins D in the picture is half of what was sometimes known by wags as the "Bob & Carol & Ted & Dallas" quartet (Orr, Vadnais, Green and Smith, respectively). This was slightly humorous in about 1970 when the movie "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice" was raking it in at the box-office. The movie has withstood the test of time even worse than the players.
