Command Analysis
Toronto Maple Leafs
CanadaCurrent form
Toronto has been in good shape during this playoff run. The team looks especially great offensively and makes excellent use of its moments, thanks to which it regularly scores no less than three or four goals. Let's remind that in the series with Ottawa, the Leafs also showed decent performance and even scored four goals in the last match.
In the opening match with Florida, Craig Berube's team tried to act as the first number and spent most of the time in the attack zone. The game plan worked perfectly, because then the club celebrated success with a score of 5:4. However, the Leafs again did not play the best way defensively. So, they had the most comfortable advantage of three goals, but almost allowed the opponent to recoup.
But the playoffs are going great for William Nylander, who currently remains the main scorer in the squad and has 12 points in the goal+pass system. It should be noted that in the current Stanley Cup, the forward was left without performance points only once. Auston Matthews, who managed to provide five assists, remains the main assistant.

Florida Panthers
USACurrent form
Florida often counts on playing the same hockey as its opponent and tries to score as many goals as possible. In the last series with Tampa, the team demonstrated a wonderful offensive game and, not by chance, scored a landslide victory with a score of 4:1. However, it could not fully adjust to the leafs in the first match, which is why it failed the opening game segment, conceding three goals in it.
The goalkeeper, Sergei Bobrovsky, also had a lot of work to do. He was thrown to the mercy more than once, however, despite missing five goals, he made several important saves. Nevertheless, in subsequent matches, Florida will have to play more reliably in defense if it wants to make it to the next round. Plus, Paul Maurice's team should work on discipline, because he retired five times in the last game.
Do not forget that the strength of the club is the majority game. In this playoff, he is one of the best in this indicator and currently has 26.3% of excess sales. In the first match, by the way, the team also took advantage of one attempt out of three.

1.42Tip and bets
Florida will do everything possible to take the series to its home court with a draw. Even in the first match, the Panthers looked no worse than their counterpart and created many dangerous moments at the other's goal, but they joined the fight too late, because they completely failed the starting segment. This time, Maurice's team will play more reliably in defense, so it is likely that they will be able to succeed.
Betting Tip - Florida's victory in 2.15
Betting on an individual total
Florida is used to showing decent performance even in the playoffs and usually has at least three goals scored. Toronto is also far from ideal in defense and allows you to create a lot of dangerous chances at your own goal. In the last four out of five meetings, the Leafs regularly conceded at least three goals from the Panthers, so it makes sense to put on their total now.
We're betting more than 2.5 goals for 1.60 on Florida's individual total.
Bet on the total total
We think that in the upcoming confrontation it will be possible to witness at least six abandoned goals. Both teams like to act in an open style and cannot give up on it in any way, because it brings them benefits. Florida also finished the previous four matches with at least six goals scored. Based on this, we take the total more.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.90
