Command Analysis
Toronto Maple Leafs
CanadaCurrent form
Toronto approached the playoffs in great shape and continued to demonstrate its best game already in the Stanley Cup. In the first round, the Maple Leafs faced a clear outsider in Ottawa and immediately proved their superiority over their opponent, winning three in a row. However, it is worth noting that serious difficulties arose in two of them and it came to overtime. Nevertheless, the club's string of successful performances was interrupted on a visit, where they had to suffer an insulting defeat in extra time with a score of 3:4. Goalkeeper Stolars showed his worst side, reflecting only 80% of shots.
It seemed that by returning to the home arena, the Leafs would get the final victory and be the first to reach the quarterfinals, but this did not happen. Suddenly, serious problems arose with the implementation of moments in the attack, which led to a dry defeat (0-4). The crushing defeat did not affect the Maple Leafs' morale, and they were able to finish the series ahead of schedule, confidently winning their fourth victory with a score of 4:2. Once again, striker Nylander scored a double, as well as giving an assist.

Florida Panthers
USACurrent form
Florida did not look as confident in this regular season as in the past, but this did not prevent the team from reaching the playoffs without problems. However, the team faced a very dangerous opponent in the face of Tampa Bay, and it seemed that the Panthers would meet fierce resistance, especially after the defeat from the lightning in the final match of the regular season. However, already in the opening away matches of the series, Maurice's wards did not leave any chances to their competitor, gaining the upper hand with a total score of 8:2.
Returning to their home arena, the Panthers suffered their first and only defeat against the Lightning with a score of 1:5. The hosts looked much better and created many more dangerous moments in attack, but there were difficulties with their implementation. Goalkeeper Bobrovsky also did not perform well. Pulling herself together, Florida played two great matches, which allowed her to win the final victory with a score of 4:2 and 6:3, respectively, thereby earning herself a ticket to the quarterfinals.

Florida has no problems with the composition.
Interesting betting trends

1.60Tip and bets
Even despite the fact that Toronto will be playing on the home arena, the bookmakers still single out Toronto as the clear favorite, which is quite strange. Yes, the Panthers played a great game in the first round of the playoffs, but the Maple Leafs also excelled with very high-quality hockey, especially with the support of their home stands. We believe that the Leafs have every chance to create serious problems for the Panthers at the start of the series and win. But for additional safety net, we take the victory of the hosts, including overtime.
Our prediction is that Toronto will win the match in 2.08
Bet on the total
Also, in the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. Both teams delighted the fans with very effective hockey during the playoffs and must continue to show their attacking potential.
Betting Tip - total more than five goals in 1.70
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Florida's first period was not the most successful. A team rarely earns an advantage at the end of the kickoff, and Toronto has every chance of doing so, given the advantage of home walls.
Prediction - Toronto wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.94
