How to Watch Maple Leafs vs Panthers Game 6:Date: Friday, May 16, 2025Time: 7:30 PM ETChannel: TNT, truTVStream: Sling (WATCH)
The defending champion Panthers are one game away from reaching the Eastern Conference Finals once again, as they try to take down a Maple Leafs team that will come out desperate. After taking a 2-0 series lead, Toronto lost the last three games as Florida took control.
Auston Matthews has yet to score a goal in the series, and despite having three assists, the Maple Leafs need more out of their captain. If Matthews can get on the board here and Toronto is able to escape with a win, it will be huge for their confidence if they force a Game 7.
Florida has the championship DNA, and they know a Game 7 on the road is a tall task. They will look to take care of business here and advance while they still have some room to spare. Six different Panthers scored in their Game 5 win, which they dominated 6-1, seizing all of the momentum.
This is a great NHL Playoff matchup that will not disappoint; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
