Florida Panthers vs. Toronto Maple Leafs preview

The red-hot Maple Leafs bring their four-game winning streak to the Sunshine State where they'll face a Panthers squad that's hit a serious rough patch, going winless in their last five outings.

Toronto's offensive firepower has been on full display during their recent 8-1-1 run, with William Nylander fresh off a two-goal performance against Columbus and Auston Matthews finding the net again after a brief scoring drought.

Florida's struggling offense has mustered just two goals or fewer in each of their last six games – a concerning trend for a team that's seen division rivals closing the gap in the standings.

The goaltending matchup likely features Toronto's Anthony Stolarz, coming off a shutout against Columbus, against Florida's Sergei Bobrovsky, who'll be tasked with steadying the Panthers' ship.

These Atlantic Division rivals just faced off last week with Toronto claiming a tight 3-2 victory, their first win in the season series after Florida dominated recent matchups.

Both teams have already punched their playoff tickets, but this contest has serious implications for seeding with Toronto holding a six-point edge for the division lead.

Keep an eye on the injury report, as Florida might welcome back several key players who were rested Sunday, including Aleksander Barkov and Sam Reinhart.

With Toronto's road offense averaging 3.38 goals per game and the Panthers desperately needing to snap their skid, expect a tight, playoff-atmosphere battle at Amerant Bank Arena.
