After taking a 2-0 series lead against the Florida Panthers, the Toronto Maple Leafs now find themselves down 3-2, heading into Game 6. The game will be played on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will this be the last game of the season for the Maple Leafs? Or will they force a Game 7 on Sunday?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here we present the details of the matches, with statistical analysis and the outstanding players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Florida Panthers<\/strong> With the Panthers leading the series 3-2, the odds favor Florida to win the series, while the Maple Leafs’ odds are less favorable. The Panthers’ chances of winning the Stanley Cup are high, while Toronto’s are lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Panthers have a favorable record of 5-1 when leading 3-2 in a seven-game series. The only loss was in the 2012 playoffs against the Devils. The Maple Leafs have a 6-18 record when trailing a series 3-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Game 5, 14 different Panthers players recorded points, the most in a single playoff game in franchise history. In addition, 17 different Florida players have scored goals this postseason, breaking a franchise record set in 1996.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Panthers’ Sam Reinhart, with his fourth multi-point game in the playoffs, is one of six players to have reached that milestone in the 2025 playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Panthers have not trailed for 170:10 minutes of game time since Carter Verhaeghe’s goal in the second period of Game 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Toronto’s Auston Matthews has not scored a goal in his last five games, tying his longest goal drought in the playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leafs goalie Anthony Stolarz is unlikely to play in Game 6, which could return the starting role to Joseph Woll, who allowed five goals in Game 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carolina Hurricanes 3, Washington Capitals 1<\/strong> The Hurricanes advanced to the Eastern Conference final, surpassing the Capitals. Jordan Staal scored the first goal for the Canes, followed by a response from Anthony Beauvillier for Washington. Andrei Svechnikov scored the decisive goal, and Seth Jarvis secured the victory with an empty-net goal. Carolina awaits the winner of the series between the Maple Leafs and Panthers in the conference final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Winnipeg Jets 4, Dallas Stars 0<\/strong> The Jets secured a crucial victory, with Connor Hellebuyck leading with 22 saves. Mark Scheifele scored the first goal, followed by goals from Nikolaj Ehlers and Vladislav Namestnikov. Ehlers added an empty-net goal. Dallas will have another chance to close out the series at home on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NHL Playoffs: Maple Leafs on the brink of elimination against the Panthers After taking a 2-0 series lead against the Florida Panthers, the Toronto Maple Leafs now find themselves down 3-2, heading into Game 6.
