Panthers vs Maple Leafs Predictions and Picks
Florida is ranked 15th in scoring, seventh in goals against, and slightly above average in special teams play. Sam Reinhart leads the team in goals and points. In Game 1, he had a minus-2 rating and two shots on net. It took a while for the Panthers to get going in Game 1, but their third-period push will likely carry over into Game 2. Florida needs to focus on special teams. Although they didn't allow a power-play goal, going to the box five times isn't ideal, especially when you're chasing the game and trying to maintain consistent offensive zone pressure.
Toronto is ranked seventh in scoring, eighth in goals against, and ninth on the power play. Mitch Marner leads the team in assists and points. In Game 1, he recorded an assist, a plus-1 rating, and four shots on goal. The Maple Leafs set the tone early, scoring in every period. Four of their six defensemen registered points, showing how strong defense early helped generate offense. Toronto will aim to continue blocking quality Florida scoring chances and build leads with power play success.
Best Bet: Under
In their last series against the Tampa Bay Lightning, three of Florida's four wins were driven more by defense than offense. The Maple Leafs have the stronger offensive team, but the Panthers showed in the third period that when they slowly contain the opposing offense, goals can start coming in bunches. That approach worked well for Florida on the road in Tampa, and they'll look to use the same method in Game 2.
