The Florida Panthers achieved a decisive victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs, winning 6-1 in Game 5 of their second-round Stanley Cup playoff series. With this win, the Panthers now lead the series 3-2 after initially losing the first two games. This performance showcased their offensive strength, with contributions from multiple players including goals from Ekblad, Kulikov, Boqvist, Mikkola, Greer, and Bennett. Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky was instrumental, nearly securing a shutout while demonstrating his reliability under pressure, contributing to the team's growing confidence as they move closer to the Eastern Conference final.
"He's unbelievable," Mikkola said. "He gives all five guys on the ice confidence. If we're going to make a mistake, there's one guy who can back us up."
Florida now leads the best-of-7 series 3-2 after dropping the first two games of the series and has its first chance to clinch a spot in the Eastern Conference final on Friday when it hosts Game 6 at Amerant Bank Arena.
