The defending champion Florida Panthers, down 2-0 to the Toronto Maple Leafs, have some history to fall back on as they try to get back in the series.
They lost three in a row (Games 4-6) in the 2024 Stanley Cup Final but won Game 7 for their first championship. The year before, they rallied from 2-0 and 3-1 deficits to upset the record-setting Boston Bruins.
Coach Paul Maurice sizes up the Panthers’ current situation this way: “We went on the road and we lost two one-goal games. Our game’s not perfect. Neither is theirs.”
Florida will be at home in Friday’s Game 3 and can’t afford to fall behind 3-0.
