The Florida Panthers, the defending Stanley Cup champions, managed to avoid falling into a difficult 0-3 series deficit by securing an overtime victory on Friday night. This crucial win helped them narrow the gap in their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The winning goal came courtesy of Brad Marchand in overtime, a deflection that resulted in an unexpected 5-4 victory for the Panthers on home ice.
Toronto had established a solid 2-0 lead after the first period, a situation that has historically been a near-guaranteed win in the NHL this season. Heading into Friday`s game, the Maple Leafs boasted an impressive 30-3-0 record when leading after the opening frame and an even stronger 44-3-1 record when holding a two-goal advantage. However, the Panthers staged a remarkable comeback, overcoming two separate two-goal deficits and even taking a 4-3 lead after scoring three times in a high-paced second period. Florida now has an opportunity to level the series in Game 4, scheduled for Sunday evening.
In the Western Conference, the Winnipeg Jets delivered a complete team effort, earning a convincing 4-0 shutout victory against the Dallas Stars in Game 2 of their second-round matchup. Forward Nikolaj Ehlers, who recently returned from injury, was a key player, contributing two goals and an assist to lead his team`s offense. Meanwhile, Winnipeg`s goaltender Connor Hellebuyck was flawless between the pipes, stopping all 22 shots he faced to record his first shutout of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Game 3 is set to take place Sunday afternoon.
