Panthers GameDay at Maple Leafs: How to Watch, Stream; Lines, Goalies, Odds
· Yahoo Sports
Things have not gone easy for either the Florida Panthers or Toronto Maple Leafs this season.
Visit newsbetting.bond for more information.
Soon, it will be over.
For the Panthers, they will have an offseason of recharging and recovery. With at least 12 players out tonight, Florida will have a much different lineup when the next season begins than they do right now.
Florida plans on contending again when the new league calendar flips.
The Maple Leafs are looking for a new GM and perhaps a new coach.
The two teams are looking at very different summers — and could really use a loss tonight to help keep important first-round draft picks. If Toronto’s pick is outside of the top-5, it goes to the Bruins; Florida’s pick needs to be inside the top-10 or it goes to the Blackhawks.
”Nothing is permanent in this league,’’ Paul Maurice said today. “You can win the Stanley Cup and miss the playoffs by a hundred miles. We’re going prove that this year. But we’re going to try and win it next year.’’
Wilmer Skoog could get into the lineup tonight and become the seventh player to make their NHL debut with the Panthers this season after being recalled from Charlotte.
Maurice would not say who was coming out of the lineup, but we will guess Jesper Boqvist.
Why?
He hasn’t had a day off in a while, has no ties to Toronto, and scored a goal in his last game out which makes him red-hot in a game where the Panthers need ice cold.
But that’s just an absolute guess.
The lines listed below will be updated later tonight.
Maurice said there are a couple of game-time decisions — “I’m not trying to hide ‘em’’ — with a “few guys who have just been staying in the lineup.’’
”There are a couple of guys,’’ Maurice continued, “I am not sure about.’’
NOTES: PANTHERS at MAPLE LEAFS

- Starting Goalies: The Panthers will have Daniil Tarasov back in net. Joseph Woll goes for the Leafs.
- How to Watch/Stream: The Panthers are on local TV today. It can be streamed locally on Panthers+ and nationally on ESPN+.
- NHL Betting Odds: The Leafs are slight favorites today at -130 on the money line with the local book seemingly not knowing which way to go here and just giving the edge to the home team. If you think the Panthers will win, a $100 bet pays $110.
