Toronto Maple Leafs at Florida Panthers
Maple Leafs lead series 2-0
Series odds: Maple Leafs -210, Panthers +170
The Maple Leafs head to Florida with a commanding 2-0 series lead over the defending Stanley Cup champion Panthers. Once again, they’ll be without No. 1 goaltender Anthony Stolarz.
Joseph Woll was solid with 25 saves in a 4-3 Game 2 win on Wednesday. Woll took over the Leafs’ net in Game 1 when Stolarz left after catching Sam Bennett’s forearm to the head in a net-front collision.
The Leafs are getting offensive contributions from all over — including from star William Nylander and new dad Mitch Marner — and are winning the goaltending battle against Sergei Bobrovsky, as James Mirtle gets into here. But despite being in unfamiliar territory, the Panthers aren’t worried.
Expert picks
Dallas Stars at Winnipeg Jets
Stars lead series 1-0
Series odds: Stars -375, Jets +290
Mikko Rantanen scored another single-period hat trick to power his Stars past the Jets to open this series.
Rantanen, the big trade deadline pickup who did the same against his former Colorado Avalanche in Game 7 last weekend, was double-shifted and scored a natural hatty in the middle frame for an eventual 3-2 win. The Stars also welcomed back Jason Robertson, who’d been out since April 16 with a knee injury.
The good news for the Jets? Connor Hellebuyck wasn’t bad, and Mark Scheifele is back (and even scored in his return). Can the Jets even things up in front of the Whiteout faithful? Or will the Stars take a 2-0 series lead down south?

After an impressive Game 2 win, 5 reasons to start believing in the Winnipeg Jets
WINNIPEG — These are the Winnipeg Jets the NHL was supposed to be afraid of.It took nine games, multiple injury recoveries from multiple star players, and the St. Louis Blues’ near-destruction of Connor Hellebuyck. It took a Game 1 wakeup call, two days’ worth of video, and an ill-timed four-minute penalty by Tyler Seguin. It also took good luck and the good decision to retool Winnipeg’s defence corps.AdvertisementBut Josh Morrissey, Mark Scheifele, Nikolaj Ehlers, and Gabriel Vilardi are all back in the lineup now. Hellebuyck is back in top form, dazzling in the second period on the way to his first playoff shutout since 2021. Suddenly, the Presidents’ Trophy winners look like a No. 1 team again. With Sunday’s Game 3 looming, the Jets have given themselves the opportunity to go ahead in Round 2 — and it’s taken every […]
