Florida Panthers Seek Win in Crucial Game 3 vs Toronto Maple Leafs

The Florida Panthers face a critical Game 3 at home against the Toronto Maple Leafs, trailing 0-2 in the Eastern Conference Second Round and needing a win to avoid an 0-3 series deficit. Toronto has dominated early with two wins in their home city, with their potent offense scoring nine goals across those games, while Florida struggles to find rhythm and tighten their defense. Tickets for the game in Florida are notably cheaper compared to Toronto, partly due to fewer Canadian fans traveling south amid trade tensions. The Panthers' captain Aleksander Barkov stresses the importance of defensive improvement to support goalie Sergei Bobrovsky. Game 3, scheduled for May 9 at Amerant Bank Arena, is set to be broadcast live on TNT and truTV in the U.S., with streaming options available for fans nationwide. As the Panthers aim to flip momentum, the Maple Leafs look to edge closer to their first conference finals since 2002, making this matchup a pivotal moment in the series.
