Command Analysis

Toronto Maple Leafs

Current form
Toronto started the quarterfinal series very successfully. The team hosted Florida at home and was able to demonstrate a very effective offensive game, which made it possible to compensate for the constant failures in defense and win two consecutive victories with the score 5:4 and 4:3, respectively. The second-line striker Nylander showed an excellent game, scoring four goals in both meetings. Next, the Maple Leafs went to visit the Panthers, where they were just one step away from the third victory in a row, but suffered an insulting defeat in overtime (4:5). Goalkeeper Wall did not cope with his main task, reflecting only 86% of shots.
In the fourth match of the series, the Leafs suddenly had serious problems both creating and implementing offensive chances. The team could not score a single goal, losing dry with a score of 0:2. In just three periods, the Canadians scored 23 shots on the opponent's goal, which, of course, was not enough.
Disqualifications and injuries
Yani Hakanpaa will not be able to participate in the upcoming match. Ekman-Larson and Stolars are also questionable.

Florida Panthers

Current form
After a very confident victory over Tampa in the first round of the playoffs, Florida had to face an even more serious opponent in the face of Toronto. The series began on the road, where the Panthers showed a good game and twice had every chance of success. The team was absolutely not inferior to the Maple Leafs, but the opponent was often more lucky with the realization of attacking chances. It is worth noting only that goalkeeper Bobrovsky's game is not the most reliable.
In the first match at the Panthers' home arena, they finally broke the streak of setbacks and achieved their first series victory. However, the success was given to the team with great difficulty. The opponent equalized the score in the third period and moved the game into overtime, where only in the 15th minute Marchand successfully threw a leaf at the goal and hit the target. It seems that this Victoria cheered up the team as a whole, and she was able to even the score in the series without any problems, winning dry (2-0). Goalkeeper Bobrovsky showed an amazing game, deflecting all 23 shots, thereby making a cracker.
Disqualifications and injuries
Rodriguez remains in doubt.
