> Berube on if Stolarz being 0-2 v Panthers was a consideration: "No, not really. I mean, the team's 0-2"  
>  
> Stolarz on chasing 1st: "That's why you play. You want to get home-ice advantage, last change, so everyone in here knows the significance of the game"[https://t.co/soNTrtKHq9](https://t.co/soNTrtKHq9?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

### The Game

If the Leafs win, it will be easier for them to maintain a points spread over the Panthers. It is not necessary. 

If the Panthers win, it will be easier for them to overtake the Leafs in points, but it will not be inevitable.
