Panthers vs Maple Leafs
North ice tilt where home-ice buds seek big bite-back.

Panthers (47-31-4) VS Maple Leafs (52-26-4)
May 14, 2025 | 6:00 PM ET | Scotiabank Arena, Toronto

Toronto enters tonight's matchup riding a noticeable offensive upswing despite getting shut out in game 4, while Florida arrives on a high, having won game 3 and 4 at home, but the win in game 3 was a tight one. The Maple Leafs have been steady in net with strong performances as their preferred starter remains out, and their defensive core is largely intact, a key advantage against a Panthers team still dealing with depth issues on the blue line. With the series heading back to Toronto, the Leafs need a must win mentality to retake control of this series.
From a betting standpoint, the value leans toward Toronto—especially with plus money on the board. The Leafs are the Leafs though, getting great performances in net is kind of a given, but whether or not they can score is the big question. With home ice and a chance to put the Panthers on the back foot, grabbing the Leafs tonight feels like a savvy play

Toronto is riding a wave of offensive momentum, having put together strong showings in the playoffs while averaging over three goals per game. Florida, on the other hand, continues to deal with defensive limitations, with key blue-liners either not performing under the lights. With the series tied up 2-2, the urgency to win is at an all time high, Toronto needing to retake control of the series, and the Panthers needing to effectively win the series.
This marks the fifth game in the series—and the recent goaltending volatility, particularly on Florida’s end, the conditions are ripe for a high-scoring affair. With both teams pushing for position and not shying away from offensive risks, taking the Over looks like a sharp play tonight.

Toronto comes into this game on a roll, showing depth across all three scoring lines and benefiting from recent defensive stability. Florida, in contrast, is dealing with inconsistencies in their depth, which has led to patches of little scoring. Goaltending has also been a concern for the Panthers, particularly in this matchup, where past performances have not inspired confidence. Toronto’s defensive core has stabilized after earlier disruptions, and home goaltending has been notably sharp in recent weeks.
With the Leafs needing to take a win tonight, the focus now shifts to fine-tuning their form, while the Panthers may be forced into a more cautious approach as it tries to steal one and take it back to Florida. That combination—Toronto’s momentum and Florida’s diminished roster—leans heavily toward a comfortable home win.
