Maple Leafs Hold Off Panthers to Force Game 5 - Can Toronto Complete the Comeback?
The Toronto Maple Leafs won Game 4 of their first-round playoff series against the Florida Panthers by a score of 2-1, avoiding elimination and forcing a Game 5. The Leafs got goals from William Nylander and Auston Matthews, while goaltender Jack Campbell made 38 saves to secure the win.
Nylander opened the scoring early in the first period, taking advantage of a turnover by Panthers defenseman Anton Stralman. Matthews added to the lead midway through the second period, scoring on a one-timer from the slot. The Panthers made things interesting late in the third period, as Patric Hornqvist scored with just over three minutes remaining, but the Leafs were able to hold on for the win.
The series has been tightly contested throughout, with each team winning two games. Game 5 will take place on Thursday in Sunrise, Florida, with the winner advancing to the second round of the playoffs. The Leafs will look to build on their strong defensive performance in Game 4, while the Panthers will hope to get more scoring from their top players, including Aleksander Barkov and Jonathan Huberdeau.
