It was effectively a four-point game and the Florida Panthers proved why they’re the reigning champs, defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-1. Toronto’s four-game winning streak was snapped and it finally looked worse for wear,

The Panthers beat the Maple Leafs 5-1 to snap an uncharacteristic four-game losing streak that obviously didn’t sit well with this proud team.

With the Maple Leafs coming to town, there will also be three familiar faces in the building as Steven Lorentz, Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Anthony Stolarz take the ice at Amerant Bank Arena for the first time since helping the Panthers capture the Stanley Cup back in June.

Aleksander Barkov and Carter Verhaeghe had power-play goals, Sam Reinhart had a short-handed score and the Florida Panthers beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-1 for only their second win in eight games.

Carter Verhaeghe's three-point night helped the Florida Panthers snap their four-game losing streak with a 5-1 win, cooling off the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday night in Sunrise.

The Florida Panthers defeated the Maple Leafs 5-1, while the Maple Leafs lost yet another forward to injury in Bobby McMann.

Maple Leafs forward Bobby McMann suffered a lower-body injury at some point during Wednesday's loss, according to TSN's Mark Masters. The injury likely occurred at some point in the second period because the 28-year-old winger wasn't on Toronto's bench to begin the third period.

The Toronto Maple Leafs’ injury woes continue. Forward Bobby McMann left Wednesday’s game against the Florida Panthers with an apparent lower-body injury.

The NHL odds favor Florida but Toronto has been the far better team lately led by the red-hot Mitch Marner. He's been a Panther killer throughout his career and my Maple Leafs vs. Panthers predictions are betting on it happening again tonight.
