Stephen Nover's NHL Game of the Week - 70% NHL Run!
(NHL) Florida vs. Toronto,
Money Line: -161.00 Toronto (Home)
Result: Loss
It's going to be extremely difficult for the Panthers to be fully up for this Game 1 series matchup against the Maple Leafs. You can't blame the Panthers either. Florida eliminated the Bruins this past Sunday with an overtime Game 7 victory in Boston. The Bruins had set the NHL regular season record with 65 wins and 135 points. 

It was a stunning loss for the Bruins and a tremendous victory for the Panthers. 

Florida matched-up well to Boston. The Panthers haven't matched-well to the Maple Leafs when playing in Toronto losing nine of the past 11 times there. 

Toronto should feel less pressure now after winning their first playoff series in 19 years by taking out the Lightning this past Saturday. It's a great spot for the Maple Leafs. One that should result in a victory.
