The Panthers won the Battle of Florida. The Maple Leafs won the Battle of Ontario. Now, it’s the Battle of the Atlantic. The Panthers and Maple Leafs begin their best-of-7 Stanley Cup playoffs second-round series at 8 p.m. Monday from Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.

The Florida Panthers stumbled out of the gate in Toronto on May 5 and now find themselves trailing their second-round series of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. William Nylander scored twice in the first 12:51 to lead the Maple Leafs to a 5-4 Game 1 victory.
