His five goals are tied with defenseman Brandon Montour for the team lead and his 16 penalty minutes are fourth. Panthers: There's not much Tkachuk can't do. His penchant for stripping opponents of pucks in the neutral and defensive zone is a key element in a dangerous transition game. There were several shifts where he simply refused to be knocked off the puck in the offensive zone and deserved kudos for his defensive play.
Maple Leafs: Matthews' five goals led the Maple Leafs in the first round. "New opponent, tough opponent, one we have to be ready for." "Time to reset," forward Ryan O'Reilly said. Tavares, Auston Matthews, Mitchell Marner and William Nylander combined for 34 points (13 goals, 21 assists). John Tavares' overtime goal in Game 6 gave the Maple Leafs their first series win since 2004. Led by Matthew Tkachuk (11 points five goals, six assists), they'll face a Maple Leafs team that surrendered 21 goals in a six-game win against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Panthers are on a three-game winning streak, overcoming a 3-1 series deficit against the Bruins while outscoring them 15-11. "The way we battled back through the series, through this game, it's been a ride," Verhaeghe said. The Florida Panthers shocked the hockey world - at least those outside their own dressing room - with a seven-game win against the heavily favored Boston Bruins in the Eastern Conference First Round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.Ĭarter Verhaeghe scored at 8:35 of overtime to give the Panthers a 4-3 victory in Game 7 on Sunday to eliminate the Presidents' Trophy winners who finished the regular season with NHL records of 65 wins and 135 points, 43 ahead of the Panthers. Panthers: 42-32-8, 92 points 4-3 to win first round against Boston Bruins
Maple Leafs: 50-21-11, 111 points 4-3 to win first round against Tampa Bay Lightning
