A young Toronto squad is a bit shell-shocked after losing the first two games at home, 4-2 and 3-2. "We're all disappointed," one Maple Leafs player said. Defense gets emphasized in the postseason and the high-flying Toronto offense has scored just 2 goals in four straight games to Tampa Bay and Florida. The Maple Leafs have played seven straight games on the road that have been decided by one goal and have lost eight of the last 11 at Florida. Meanwhile, a veteran Florida squad that had the best record in the NHL a year ago is on a confident magic carpet ride winning five in a row. And it's been five in a row against two of the top four teams in the Eastern Conference. The Panthers have two days off before this one and can use it after playing the last three on the road. Florida is 23-12 against Atlantic division opponents with the wagering value on the home team to win the game or lose by one goal. Play Florida on the Puck-Line.
