Murray played great in Ottawa but it showed how the Leafs have been struggling recently with giving up a ton of quality chances.

What bettors can do here is hit this total live at 6.5, which likely would take two to three minutes to fall in a decent threshold of Over 6.5 -120 or -115. [Matt Murray](https://www.covers.com/sport/hockey/nhl/players/313/matt-murray) in this road start vs. the Florida Panthers, who have won seven of their last 10 and are in a dogfight for a playoff spot in the East. It’s a key game in the trip, as the Leafs have not looked great in the first two games, but got lucky with a shootout win vs. The funny thing is that metrics saw it as one of their best games this month but thanks to some less-repeatable mistakes (turnovers and unexpected goals), things got out of hand. But thanks to a scoreboard that’s advertising an awful effort, perhaps Toronto backers are getting a great price on the moneyline at +120. Florida in late January, then tonight’s line should be closer to a pick ‘em. This prop used to be as short as -140 to the Over when he was playing to his level. It could be a big game for this second line, and Nylander specifically.

The Toronto Maple Leafs visit the surging Florida Panthers on Thursday night. The pregame narrative: Mitch Marner is not a consistent source of shots, ...

Many of these shots are translating into goals, as he has four over this run. The talented forward has 15 points in his last six outings, usurping this mark in four of those games. The Panthers are tied for the 12th-most shots allowed per contest (31.6) this season but have been better as of late. The Maple Leafs’ playmaker only has nine shots on goal in his last five contests, resulting in an average of 1.8 shots per game. He’s facing a Maple Leafs team that isn’t defending well, either. Matthew Tkachuk is generating plenty of offence and another big night is expected.

NHL Odds, Preview, Prediction: Maple Leafs vs. Panthers (March 23) (The Action Network)

Jonny Lazarus breaks down Thursday's NHL game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers, including a betting prediction.

They have scored 25 goals in their past five games and are certainly going to have a ton of jump in their step. As a team, the Leafs are averaging 3.40 goals per game and have scored 11 goals in their past three games. Every single game and point matters for this team and they are looking for a strong rebound after dropping their most recent game in Philadelphia. The Leafs have 7-19 record in their past 26 trips to Florida. The Leafs have lost three of their past five games, but their spot in the playoffs is essentially solidified. The Panthers are 7-2-1 in their past 10 games and it appears Tkachuk cannot be stopped.

Panthers will Shred the Maple Leafs Tonight (OutKick)

Maple Leafs vs. Panthers, 7:00 ET The Coyotes yesterday were a +360 dog and I told you to bet them. Did it hit? No. Did they come close? Yes. Ultimately,

The Maple Leafs are just 2-2 over his last four starts and he has allowed four goals in all four of those games. If we look at who is playing at home tonight, the Panthers are. When he faced the Panthers earlier in the year he allowed four goals in roughly 22 minutes of ice time. The Panthers are playing some of the best hockey of their season right now. The Toronto Maple Leafs currently sit in second place in the Atlantic Division and are currently 14 points ahead of the Panthers in the standings. However, I’ll take a small pat on the back from myself that I at least analyzed the game correctly, which is what you should always be trying for, and knew there was value in the Coyotes.

Preview, analysis, quotes & TV info for the Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Florida Panthers game on March 23rd, 2023 at FLA Live Arena.

On the other side, we just need to continue to sharpen up and get ready for the playoffs. Different situations in different games come up and you’re going to have to play with different guys, so it’s important to get those reps in. Murray gave up four goals, but he still earned an insane 48-saves and was impressive in quieting the chaos of the Leafs’ woeful performance on Saturday. Murray is 13-7-2 on the year with a .905 Sv%. [Maple Leafs](https://mapleleafshotstove.com/) as Bobby McMann has re-injured the knee that kept him out of the [Marlies](/toronto-marlies/)‘ lineup for a couple of weeks. He has won six of his last seven starts, including a 33-save performance in a win against a strong Devils team last week. The 25-year-old has some of the best even-strength numbers in the league, sitting 7th in xOffence/60 and 6th in total points at evens with 56 (22 goals, 34 assists). [Leafs](https://mapleleafshotstove.com/) this year understands that Kampf and Aston-Reese are about low-event, defensive hockey, they’ve been way below expectation as of late, with both just above 30% xGoals in their last 10 games. Prior to Tuesday’s game, Sam Bennett occupied the spot in between them, but a minor injury has confirmed he’ll miss his second straight game tonight. With inexperienced backup Alex Lyon in net, the Panthers gave up three five-on-five goals in just over two minutes to end the second period, making it 5-2 Flyers to end the period. Although the loss looks like a reality check on paper, it was a bit of an odd contest. That is, up until Tuesday night’s 6-3 loss to the 26th-place Flyers.

Matthews scores twice for Maple Leafs in win against Panthers (NHL.com)

Auston Matthews scored twice for the Toronto Maple Leafs in a 6-2 win against the Florida Panthers at FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida, on Thursday.

"The hardest part of it was we got into some penalty trouble and we had basically all the momentum," Tkachuk said. It was his 80th point of the season and ended a four-game goal and point drought. It was an important time in the game." Murray stopped the shot sprawling with his glove, but video review determined the puck had crossed the goal line. It didn't go in the way we drew it up but it's nice for the guys to come through. "[Defensive] zone, we didn't do a great job of shutting plays down, we kind of let them run all over the place and create their offense. It was just an unbelievable screen by him, those are just the little things he does night in, night out that maybe sometimes go unnoticed." "It was a bit of a muffin I threw at the net, but the goalie didn't see it and I was just able to pick a spot and get it there. … I think just a good game all around, especially with how desperate these guys came out, and just to play through the pressure they bring." The Penguins lost 3-2 at the Dallas Stars on Thursday. The Lightning lost 7-2 at the Ottawa Senators on Thursday. "I thought we had a good first period, weathered the storm at times when they really got rolling, and [Matt] Murray came up with some big saves, obviously," Matthews said.

Maple Leafs' 'Big 4' step up in bounce-back win against desperate ... (Sportsnet.ca)

Forty-eight hours after their worst loss of the season, the Toronto Maple Leafs were on the other end of a lopsided score, beating the Florida Panthers 6-2 ...

That made it 5-2 late in the third, setting the table for an empty-netter from Marner and a really happy coach after the game. One of the things that sometimes you don’t think about is that if you’re going to play with Auston and Mitch, you’re going to get really difficult matchups. It was just an unbelievable screen by him and [that’s one of] the little things that he does night in and night out that sometimes go unnoticed.” “I thought our guys did a real nice job of really giving them nothing in the third period and then through that you get your own opportunities to extend your lead and we did, so it’s great.” “It was a bit of a muffin I threw at the night, but the goalie didn’t see it and I was able to just pick a spot and get it there. “We’ve been a team that’s been consistently good with that and I think, as of late, slipped a little bit.
