Updated 2025 NHL Playoff Bracket, Schedule After Leafs Beat Panthers to Force Game 7

The Toronto Maple Leafs kept their season alive for at least two more days.

Toronto picked up a shutout win on the road over the Florida Panthers to force Game 7 on Sunday night back in Ontario.

Friday's win was a massive surprise after a poor Game 5 performance on home ice.

Auston Matthews provided the game-winning goal for the Leafs in the third period after the first two frames went scoreless.

Upcoming Schedule

Auston Matthews' first goal of the second round sent the Toronto Maple Leafs back home for Game 7.

Matthews scored six minutes into the third period to break a deadlock with the reigning Stanley Cup champion.

Max Pacioretty provided the insurance goal for the Leafs eight minutes later.

Toronto got a massive performance in goal from Joseph Woll, who made 22 saves against a Florida offense that put six goals into the net in Game 5.

Florida and Toronto will now head to a Game 7 on Sunday night in Toronto. The winner of that contest will take on the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Final.
