Florida Panthers at Toronto Maple Leafs Preview & Picks

Florida are tipped to wrap up this series by winning on the road.

The Panthers were shutout in Game 6, but this team is too good offensively for that to happen and we expect a response here.

  • Florida Panthers are 4-2 on the road in the playoffs
  • Florida Panthers have won in Toronto twice this season
  • The Over has hit in 8 of Florida’s previous 11 games
  • The Over has cashed in 4 of the first 6 games in the series

Head To Head

  • Toronto Maple Leafs lead the all-time series 56-46-15
  • Toronto Maple Leafs 2-0 when the two teams last met on May 16

Florida Panthers Form

Florida head back out on the road for Game 7, having blown their chance to wrap up the series at home.

The Panthers failed to take away Toronto’s home advantage as they were beaten in the first two games on the road, 5-4 and 4-3.

They rallied at home though, knotting up the series with a 5-4 overtime success and a 2-0 victory in regulation, and then gave themselves chance to clinch with a huge 6-1 road win.

Florida passed up on that opportunity though, as they were beaten 2-0 by Toronto on Friday night.

The Panthers went 47-31-4 in the regular season to seal a return to the postseason, and the defending champions opened with a 4-1 series victory over Tampa Bay.

Toronto Maple Leafs Form

Toronto return home for a winner-takes-all meeting with Florida, having kept their Stanley Cup dream alive with a huge road win in Game 6.

The Maple Leafs made the perfect start to this series as they defended the home ice with 5-4 and 4-3 victories over Florida.

They failed to make a dent in the Panthers on the road, losing 5-4 in overtime and 2-0 in regulation, and then found themselves on the brink of elimination after a 6-1 home loss in Game 5.

Toronto avoided elimination and gave themselves a chance to advance on Friday, recording a huge 2-0 victory in Florida.

The Maple Leafs went 52-26-4 in the regular season to earn their place in the playoffs, and won a six-game series with Ottawa in the opening round of the postseason.

Verdict

Florida blew their big chance to clinch at home, but we expect them to bounce back quickly.

They already have a couple of wins in Toronto this season, and despite the shutout on Friday, they have scored a bunch of goals in this series.
