NHL Playoffs: Game 7 Incoming! Toronto Maple Leafs Level Series with Florida Panthers
The Toronto Maple Leafs are still alive — and they’re not going down without a fight. Behind a stellar performance from goaltender Joseph Woll and a clutch first goal of the series from star forward Auston Matthews, Toronto shut out the Florida Panthers with a gritty 2-0 win in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
The win ties the best-of-seven series at 3-3 and sets the stage for a dramatic Game 7 showdown, with a place in the Eastern Conference Final on the line.
Woll stopped all 22 shots he faced, while Toronto’s defense stepped up in a big way, blocking a remarkable 31 shots and killing off all four Florida power plays. The insurance goal came late in the third period from Max Pacioretty, assisted by Bobby McMann and Max Domi.
