Nevertheless, during this series, the team picked up the pace and was able to reach the quarterfinals without any problems, where they continued to delight the fans with a successful game.

At home, the Maple Leafs were able to successfully start the series again, defeating Florida (5:4). Striker Nylander showed an amazing game, scoring a double and also giving an assist.
