Florida Panthers vs. Toronto Maple Leafs, Game 4
Digest more
The Stars and Jets will be back at it on Tuesday in Game 4 in Dallas. The Panthers defended home ice for the second game in a row. Florida received goals from Carter Verhaeghe and Sam Bennett as well as 22 saves from Sergei Bobrovsky to move level with the Maple Leafs.
Depending on what happens in Game 5, the Panthers will enter Game 6 at Amerant Bank Arena on Friday either trying to punch their ticket to the Eastern Conference Final for the third consecutive season or trying to survive and force a decisive Game 7 back in Toronto. Either way, it’ll be a massive game.
After incurring a late penalty against the Florida Panthers Sunday, Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Max Domi will pay the price. Domi is being fined $5,000 by the NHL—the maximum allowable under the league's collective bargaining agreement—for his hit on Panthers center Aleksander Barkov in the closing seconds of Florida's 2–0 second-round Game 4 win.
Toronto sent the game to overtime with a third-period equalizer, but the Panthers rebounded and picked up a huge win on home ice. The top seed in the Western Conference, the Winnipeg Jets, also picked up a win at home on Friday to get on the board in their series with the Dallas Stars.
