The Florida Panthers suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat to the Toronto Maple Leafs, mainly due to an out-of-sync offensive performance. Despite four power-play opportunities, the Panthers were unable to capitalize and only managed to challenge goaltender Joseph Woll, who secured his first postseason shutout with just 22 saves. Blunders in the third period by players Aaron Ekblad and Nate Schmidt resulted in goals from Matthews and Pacioretty, sealing the win for Toronto as they rebounded from their prior game. With this loss, the Panthers must prepare for a decisive Game 7 against the Carolina Hurricanes.
