Florida Panthers - Toronto Maple Leafs: NHL match betting tip

Current form

Florida started the series with Toronto, playing on the road, where in the first match it showed a weak defensive game, allowing the opponent to create and realize a huge number of dangerous moments in their zone. By the middle of the second period, the Panthers were trailing 1-4, and it seemed that everything was heading for a complete failure. But in the final twenty minutes, the team gathered its strength and almost made a comeback, losing by just one goal (4:5). In the return match, the Panthers played much more reliably defensively, but goalkeeper Bobrovsky failed his main task, deflecting only 80% of the shots, which led to the second setback in a row (3:4).

But after returning to the home arena, the team immediately rehabilitated itself in front of the fans. With the support of the home walls, Florida realized its attacking potential to the fullest, which allowed it to snatch a difficult and very important Victory in overtime (5-4). It is difficult to even single out any of the players, since almost all distinguished themselves by their effective actions.

Current form

Toronto clearly did not expect such fierce resistance from Ottawa in the first round of the playoffs, but it only benefited the team. The Maple Leafs picked up a great pace and continued to delight the fans in the quarterfinal series with Florida. The Leafs had every chance to defeat their opponent in the opening match, which would have allowed them to hit the moral component of the Panthers, but the hosts played very poorly at the end of the meeting, conceding three goals in the final segment. In the second match, the Canadians unexpectedly played passively, but this did not prevent them from achieving another success (4:3). In particular, it is worth praising the forwards Domi and Pacioretty, who scored two goals each.

Then Toronto went to play on the road, where by the fifth minute of the meeting they had earned a significant two-goal advantage and completely lost it in the second twenty minutes. Everything went to defeat in the main time, but at the end of the match, Reilly made the most successful shot at the Florida goal and after the rebound, the puck flew into the target, which allowed the game to go into overtime. However, in extra time, I still had to concede with a score of 4:5.
