Maple Leafs lineup tonight: Toronto’s projected lineup for Game 5 against the Florida Panthers | Stanley Cup Playoffs, Round 2, May 14, 2025

Tonight, the Toronto Maple Leafs will look to take a 3-2 lead in their second-round series against the Florida Panthers after dropping back-to-back games on the road.

While Toronto was able to defend home ice in Games 1 and 2, the team then lost a nail-biter of a Game 3 on the road, thanks to some overtime heroics from Brad Marchand. The momentum led to a 2-0 shutout loss in Game 4.

Now, with the series back in Toronto for a pivotal Game 5, Craig Berube's squad will look to pick up a big win in order to set up a potential closeout scenario in Game 6 on the road.

If the team is able to close out the series, it will mark their deepest postseason run since 2002, and just their second conference finals run since the turn of the century.
