The Panthers failed the first five periods of the championship. On the road, Minnesota team Paul Maurice lost - 0:2. And then, also on the road, Florida lost to Winnipeg 2:5 five minutes before the final siren, but nearly pulled off a miracle comeback, eventually losing 4:6 with the opponent's sixth goal into an empty net.

The end of the third period against the Jets energized the Panthers, so they got off to a great start against New Jersey, scoring three times in the first period and leading 4:0 early in the third. However, physically, the team was not ready for the end, and in the final stretch of the match, they almost lost this advantage, allowing the opponent to reduce the gap to a minimum - 4:3.

The Maple Leafs have also played three games already in the new championship. The team started with two victories, beating Montreal in a bright derby - 6:5 in a shootout, and confidently outplayed Minnesota - 7:4, but then unexpectedly stumbled in a home game with Chicago. The key was the second period, which ended 1:3 not in favor of Toronto. The Leafs surprisingly scored nothing in the third period, conceding to an empty net for the fourth time - 1:4.

Florida knocked Toronto out of the Stanley Cup last season, winning the conference semifinal series in five games. The Maple Leafs appear to have a great opportunity to get revenge in the upcoming game. Panthers, at the start of the championship, look tough, so far ready to turn on only for certain segments of the matches and can hardly stop with a guarantee flying Toronto. The Leafs were unsuccessful in their previous meeting against Chicago, but they scored 12 times in two games before that. And in the game against the Blackhawks, there were plenty of chances, but the realization of scoring chances let the team down.
