These teams last met on Dec. 28 when Toronto got a 3-2 shootout win over the Panthers. The Maple Leafs are 30-70 over their last 100 road games and have lost three of their last four road contests, although they managed a win at Carolina on Saturday. Morgan Rielly scored the game-winner in overtime as the Leafs try to hang on to the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Florida goalie James Reimer has a 2.62 goals-against average and .917 save percentage and he has taken over the starter's role since Roberto Luongo went down with an injury. The Panthers are likely out of the playoff race, but they need this game to have any hope of playing in the postseason. Home ice will be the difference in this matchup. Play the Panthers.
