Panthers at Maple Leafs picks and predictionsPrediction

Panthers 3, Maple Leafs 2

Florida is 7-4 across the last 11 meetings (including playoffs) with Toronto.

In these Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Panthers have been one of the top clubs in generating scoring chances on offense and denying same at the other end. They own a significant edge over Toronto when it comes to chances in and around the slot, both in creating those opportunities on offense and limiting them on defense. And Florida is the more likable side in killing off power plays.

Florida was impressive in logging a trio of road wins in as many attempts in its first-round win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. And in their march to a 2024 Stanley Cup title, the Panthers won Game 7 in the finals and clocked four key road wins throughout the playoffs.

Bobrovsky has looked quite good over the last 3 games, and that includes Game 5 north of the border when he stopped 31 of 32 Leafs shots in a 6-1 Florida triumph.

Peg the PANTHERS (-130) as being the value side here.

No interest. AVOID.

The Over is 4-2 in this series, but the previous 14 Florida-Toronto games (regular and postseason) had seen the Under go 11-3.

With Bobrovsky being sharp of late and with Florida’s defense clamping down on good scoring chances, look for Game 7 to be a lower-scoring affair.

Peg the UNDER 5 as a lean in theory, but 40-cent O/U lines aren’t usually advisable. Consider holding out for a better price.
