TORONTO -- The Florida Panthers had their three-game winning streak end Sunday with a 7-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets, but they have a chance to make a good five-game road trip even better Tuesday when they finish it against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
"If we can find a way to get two points in Toronto, we'll get four (wins) of five (games) on this trip, and you'd take that every day," Panthers coach Bob Boughner said.
Both teams are surging. The Panthers have won seven of their past nine games and the Maple Leafs, who are opening a three-game homestand, have won 10 of their past 12 games after defeating the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 on Sunday with a goal in the final minute.
