Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the NHL match.
Both teams have won their respective home games and now they’re on the way to Canada to hold the fifth match. A side to win this game is almost guaranteed the Eastern Conference final.
Toronto Maple Leafs
Anthony Stolarz, the main goalkeeper, is expected to get back. He’s performed great in the play-offs, conceding 2.19 goals per game on average. The leaders of the Maple Leafs are in the perfect form too. William Nylander has 15 points (6+9) in the play-offs. Mitch Marner has already made 10 assists.
Florida Panthers
The current champion has been unstable in the play-offs. Their 2:0 victory in the previous game doesn’t prove their domination. The point was in the fact they had many power play opportunities. It’s unlikely to happen again. Sergei Bobrovsky is not perfect either. He’s had two clean sheets but he has only 88.8% of saves made on average.
Toronto Maple Leafs vs Florida Panthers Prediction
The Panthers weren’t ready for the hot Canadian support in the first games. This will be an important factor again. The home side looks stronger, so they seem to be the favourites.
