"The Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Florida Panthers 4-1 on Tuesday night. That's the sort of headline Leafs fans would have loved at the end of last spring's Game 7. Instead, Toronto got blown out of the water. But on Tuesday night, the Maple Leafs really did beat the Florida Panthers 4-1. Joseph Woll outdueled Sergei Bobrovsky in a matchup of the Atlantic Division's bottom-dwelling teams."
"If not for two atrocious games in the series, the Leafs could have punched their ticket to meet the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Final. But on December 2, 2025, the Maple Leafs played the game they had last spring. They got depth scoring from players like Scott Laughton, Dakota Joshua, an empty-netter from John Tavares, and a goal by Troy Stecher, of all people. They got fantastic goaltending from Woll, who made 26 saves on the night."
The Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Florida Panthers 4-1 on December 2, 2025. Joseph Woll outdueled Sergei Bobrovsky and stopped 26 shots. Depth scoring came from Scott Laughton, Dakota Joshua, John Tavares (empty-net), and Troy Stecher. Earlier in the year the teams went seven games in the second round, and two poor playoff games cost Toronto a chance to reach the Eastern Conference Final. The Maple Leafs have won three of four, trimmed defensive lapses, and increased scoring chances. Scoring now comes through the lineup rather than relying solely on Auston Matthews and William Nylander, while Tavares is enjoying an excellent veteran season.
