Panthers vs. Maple Leafs prediction and odds for NHL Playoffs Game 1

Not many people would have predicted a Toronto Maple Leafs vs.Florida Panthers second round matchup, but here we are.It will be the first time these two teams will face each other in the NHL postseason.The Maple Leafs were getting ready to take on the Boston Bruins in the second round, but three straight wins by the Panthers now means the Leafs get home ice advantage in a winnable series with a berth in the Eastern Conference Final on the line.

With Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci's futures uncertain, Bruins are aware of stakes involved in Game 7 against Panthers

Bruins "This is obviously the biggest thing that we've faced and we get through this - sky's the limit."Jim Montgomery and the Bruins try to "stay in the moment."It's a mantra that both Boston's bench boss and his players have echoed time and time again during a record-setting regular season.
