Florida Panthers vs. Toronto Maple Leafs preview
The Toronto Maple Leafs will look to rebound from their painful Game 3 overtime loss when they face the Florida Panthers in a pivotal Game 4 at Amerant Bank Arena on Sunday night.
After building a commanding 2-0 series lead, Toronto watched their cushion shrink when Brad Marchand delivered Florida's dramatic 5-4 overtime winner on Friday—keeping the Panthers' hopes alive after twice rallying from two-goal deficits.
Sergei Bobrovsky has been vulnerable throughout the series, surrendering 13 goals across three games, but made crucial stops when needed most in Game 3.
With Joseph Woll confirmed between the pipes for Toronto as Anthony Stolarz remains sidelined, both teams' defensive units face pressure after three straight high-scoring affairs that have easily cleared the over.
The bitter Atlantic Division rivals know each other all too well, with Florida having eliminated Toronto in the second round of the 2023 playoffs—adding another layer of intensity to this already heated matchup.
