Game Notes |
| FLA -Sergei Bobrovsky (4-1, 2.21 GAA, .901 Sv%) will likely start for the Panthers -Sam Reinhart led Florida in scoring during their first round series against Tampa with 6 points in 5 games -Matthew Tkachuk is of course expected to be an x-factor for the Panthers in this series. He had 5 points in 5 games but was limited to averaging just 13:42 in ice-time per game after missing the last 2 months of the regular season with an injury |
| TOR -Anthony Stolarz (4-2, 2.21 GAA, .901 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs -Based on Sunday's practice the Leafs are expected to stick with the same lines they started game 6 against Ottawa with. That means Max Pacioretty will again begin on the Tavares-Nylander line |
