Toronto Maple Leafs Form

Toronto head out on the road looking to turnaround this series following back-to-back home defeats.

The Maple Leafs have so far lost 4-2 and 3-2 to Florida, but this is not the first time they have faltered early in this season’s playoffs.

They opened the first round with a 7-3 defeat when they hosted Tampa Bay, only to rebound by winning four of the next five games.

Toronto responded to their Game 1 loss with a 7-2 victory and then went out on the road to win a couple of overtime games in Tampa, 4-3 and 5-4.

The Maple Leafs then lost 4-2 to the Lightning at home, before clinching a 4-2 series win with a 2-1 overtime victory on the road.

Florida Panthers Form

Florida return home in control of the series, having won back-to-back road games to extend their win streak to five wins.

The Panthers were paired with Boston in the first round and lost three of the first four games of that series to sit on the brink of elimination.

They rebounded from a 3-1 loss with a shock 6-3 road win, only to then lost back-to-back home games, 4-2 and 6-2.

That left Florida needing to win three straight to advance, and they did just that as they sandwiched a 7-4 home win with a couple of 4-3 overtime victories.

The Panthers then kept their win streak running with a couple of wins in Toronto, downing the Maple Leafs 4-3 (OT) and 4-2 to take a 2-0 series lead.
