Florida Panthers injuriesToronto Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers head-to-head record
The Panthers and the Maple Leafs’ Game 5 is expected to be another fiercely contested encounter based on their previous five head-to-head meetings. The Panthers have won three of their five games, defeating Toronto 5-4 in Game 3 and winning their latest one 2-0 on May 12, 2025. In response, the Maple Leafs won Games 1 and 2 consecutively, both by a single goal. Given that three of the five encounters have been decided by a single goal, these results demonstrate how fairly matched the two teams have been. Additionally, on April 9, Florida defeated Toronto 3-1 in their final regular-season encounter. Game 5 may depend on the goalie, special teams, and whether top-line players—like Auston Matthews or Matthew Tkachuk—can create the difference in a crucial situation, given this back-and-forth pattern.
