"We haven't had the semblance of our four center icemen in the lineup together very often this year," coach Mike Sullivan said before the game. … He plays the most minutes. He has one assist in 15:17 of ice time Saturday. They wouldn't play back to back, which may be a bit premature, but that was the original messaging I got."

The Florida Panthers have won 12 straight games and are scoring a league-best 5.08 goals per game over that stretch. The Panthers are just too good and nearly impossible to beat on home ice even if they give up three goals. The Leafs got a taste of what the first round could be on Thursday and it wasn’t pretty. Jonathan Huberdeau is gunning for the Art Ross trophy and their last loss on home ice was back on February 26. The Over is 7-0 in the Maple Leafs’ last seven games as a road underdog. However, it might not be a positive thing for the visitors who have to regroup and face hockey’s best team Saturday night.
