Scouting Report
The Florida Panthers are the NHL’s hottest team right now and come into this game on a 12-game winning streak, which has helped them wrap up the top seed in the Eastern Conference standings. The Toronto Maple Leafs had their four-game winning streak snapped by the Tampa Bay Lightning in their last outing. They will try to bounce back from the lopsided loss to the Bolts with a victory over the Cats, which will get them closer to home ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
