Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Florida Panthers: Round 2 series preview

The Maple Leafs made it to the second round after defeating the Ottawa Senators in six games. Similarly, the Panthers defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning in five games, as they hope to defend their Stanley Cup championship.

This series is expected to be a tough one as both teams have skilled offensive forwards like Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, Aleksander Barkov and Sam Reinhart. They also have strong goaltenders like Sergei Bobrovsky and Anthony Stolarz.

The Maple Leafs finished first in the Atlantic Division with 108 points, with the Panthers placing third with 98 points. But this edge in the points difference fades away because the Leafs have lost three of their four games against Florida in the regular season.

However, the Leafs will be motivated to qualify past the second round for the first time after almost two decades. Their last trip to the Eastern Conference Final came in 2002.
