The Florida Panthers missed out on a chance to sweep the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday, so now the playoff underdogs will look to join the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Final with a win tonight at Scotiabank Arena. Toronto got 24 saves from Joseph Woll, a lucky goal from William Nylander and a third period tally from Mitch Marner to edge the Cats 2-1 at FLA Live Arena in Game 4. Florida will need to display more of a shoot-first mentality and stay out of the penalty box tonight to eliminate the Buds in the Center of the Universe.
