The NHL playoffs continued on Wednesday with the Maple Leafs earning a hard-fought win against the Panthers to take a 2-0 series lead, while the Stars edged the Jets in their series opener.
Toronto leaned on their veteran forward group as they made life very difficult for Florida goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky. The two sides exchanged goals throughout the night and the Maple Leafs held a 3-2 lead after two periods thanks to a late second-period goal from Max Domi.
Just 5:33 into the third period, Panthers forward Anton Lundell pulled off an impressive goal in which he corralled the puck from his skate and flipped in into the open net to tie the game at 3. However, just 17 seconds later, Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner threw a shot on net that somehow went high over the blocker of Bobrovsky to give Toronto the lead for good.
In Winnipeg, the Jets opened the scoring with a Nino Niederreiter tally early in the second period, but that’s when the Mikko Rantanen show began. The Stars’ winger scored three consecutive goals in the frame to record the natural hat trick. The final tally came on an attempted pass that was tipped into the net by Jets defenseman Dylan Samberg for a power-play goal that was credited to Rantanen. It marked Rantanen’s second consecutive game in which he recorded a hat trick.
His stellar play earned Rantanen a spot on our 3 Stars of the Night, which highlights the best performances from around the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The playoff continue on Thursday as the Capitals attempt to tie their series against the Hurricanes, while the Golden Knights host the Oilers in Game 2 of their series.

Buccaneers’ Desmond Watson, heaviest player in NFL history, aims to be known for more than weight
Getty Images The biggest stories around the NFL this week were rookies signing deals and participating in minicamps, but none were bigger (literally) than Desmond Watson's signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The defensive tackle out of Florida signed with the Bucs as an undrafted free agent, and at 464 pounds (as he weighed in at Florida's Pro Day) he became the heaviest player in NFL history. Watson's size has been a story ever since he was with the Gators, but he proved there to be a disruptive force in the middle of the line and not just some novelty act. 2025 NFL schedule release: 10 must-see matchups this season, including Eagles-Chiefs Super Bowl LIX rematch As he moves to the NFL, he knows he will deal with another round of weight discourse, headlines and memes as NFL fans get introduced […]

PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Não sei se vocês vascaínos concordam comigo, mas não é inacreditável o Philippe Coutinho? Pega os números dele há uns cinco anos. Só que ele tem o nome.
