Panthers scored 6 and presses Maple Leafs to win with game 5 to scream

Jesper Boqvist and Aaron Ekblad each had one goal and a template, and Sam Reinhart and Nate Schmidt each had two templates for the Panthers who are number 3 of the Atlantic Division.

Nicholas Robertson scored a goal, and Joseph Woll allowed five goals at 25 shots before he was pulled for the Maple Leafs that are number 1 of the Atlantic. Matt Murray played his first Stanley Cup playoff game since August 5, 2020, after replacing the third period at 6:23 a.m.

The Panthers, who won three in a row, lead the best-of-7 series 3: 2. Game 6 will be in Florida on Friday (TBD; Max, Trutv, TNT, TVAS).

Bobrovsky held it 0-0 at 8:34 a.m. when he stopped William Nylander with an outlier.

The Panthers then went 1-0 at 9:49 a.m.. After Maple Leaf striker Auston Matthews handed over the puck to Aleksander Barkov behind the net, Barkov's rebound burst at the top of the peat nast. Reinhart pushed the puck back to Ekblad, who shot from left from the right face-off point over Wolls Blocker.

Dmitry Kulikov made it 2-0 at 6:08 a.m. the second period when his shot was accidentally distracted from the point of Toronto striker Scott Laughton via Woll's glove.

Boqvist pushed it to 3: 0 at 10:05 a.m.. After the striker from Toronto, Mitch Marner, had sent a backhand pass into the neutral zone without a look, which was intercepted by Gustav Forsling, Reinhart went over the slot to Boqvist, who pushed himself behind Marner to move him from the crase.

Niko Mikkola extended the lead at 14:01 to 4: 0 when he wooled glove from the top of the left face-off circle.

AJ Greer set up the Panthers 5-0 at 6:23 a.m. He was jammed with a rebound after Jonah Gadjovich Schmidt's point shot rejected and wanted to persecute.

Sam Bennett pushed it to the power play at 9:10 a.m. and slot past Murray's glove from above the left hash brand.

Robertson, who has been a healthy scratch since game 2 of the first round, returned to the line -up, breathed a shot in the slot past Bobrovsky's left pad to cut it to 6: 1 at 18:54. It was Toronto's first goal in 143:25, since Morgan Rielly scored the third period in game 3 at 10:56.
