### Florida Panthers @ Toronto Maple Leafs  
07:30 PM at Scotiabank Arena  
Watch on: TVAS, SN, BSFL

The Leafs last game was an away game on March 26 against the Nashville Predators, which Toronto won by a score of 3-2\. The Leafs have a record of 44-20-9 so far.

The Florida Panthers last played an away game on March 27 against the Ottawa Senators. The Panthers lost by a score of 5-2, and their current league record is 36-31-7.

### Them

Was that loss to Ottawa the end of any hope of playoffs? Florida is three points behind Pittsburgh with each team having eight games to go. That’s a tough job to get three more points than the Penguins in so few games.

### Us

The Leafs are five points ahead of Tampa with two games in hand. Believing the Lightning can take over second place involves a level of pessimism that is pathological. The Leafs are coasting to the end of the season, and job one is to not get hurt.
