Florida +102 over Toronto

7:10 PM EST, OT included. The Panthers are on fire, winning six straight games. We've been as hard as anyone on goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky over the years, but dude is feeling it at the moment, posting a .921 save percentage during the six-game winning streak. This is why we always preach that it cannot be predicted when and where a goalie will get hot. Credit should go to the Panthers' defense, which has been stellar. The offense has been great as well, but scoring has never been this team's problem. That said, the Cats are getting contributions from everyone, with Carter Verhaeghe leading the team with 12 goals.

The Maple Leafs' big guns, on the other hand, are gripping their sticks hard. John Tavares leads the team in scoring chances but has failed to score, while Auston Matthews, William Nylander, and Mitch Marner, who combined for 13 goals in Toronto's opening-round series win over the Lightning, have been held goalless through three games.

The Leafs will also be without their starting goalie, Ilya Samsonov, who suffered an unspecified injury in Game 3 and was replaced by Joseph Woll. Although Woll has only 13 games of NHL experience, he did stop 18 of 21 shots in Game 3 and had a 6-1 record during the regular season. Matt Murray will back Woll up, but Murray has not played since suffering a concussion on April 2.

Is there any reason NOT to come right back on the Panthers today? Mindest is everything and the Maple Leafs are fried. This could be the last game of this core group of Leafs' players, and the front office that built this team. The pitchforks are out and there are going to be changes in Toronto in light of this spectacular second round failure.

Meanwhile, Florida can do no wrong. Everything the Panthers touch turns to gold. The Cats can't wait to get back to the rink today and polish off the wounded Leafs. Florida is just one win away from making their first Eastern Conference finals appearance since 1996, the Cats hold a commanding 3-0, and they are an underdog on their home ice. Get the brooms out
