Maple Leafs vs Panthers Prediction

The Toronto Maple Leafs are trying to erase years of playoff disappointment after losing nine of their last 11 playoff series. It has been 23 years since the Maple Leafs have won more than one series in a playoff year. They could take a major step towards changing that with a win on Friday.

Florida outshot Toronto in Game 2. The Maple Leafs had more hits and dominated on faceoffs. Those who bet on the NHL should look at Florida to win outright. However, tread carefully before taking Florida at +120 on the -1.5 puckline.

Score prediction: Panthers 3, Maple Leafs 2.
