Updated Series Predictions
Florida Panthers take 2-0 series lead
Sergei Bobrovsky looked shaky early in Game 1, and it looked like the Panthers were going to be victimized in Game 2 much like the Lightning were in the first round. The veteran goaltender settled things down, though, and the Panthers grabbed a 3-2 lead by scoring two goals in under a minute at the start of the second period. Surprisingly, Florida never surrendered the lead despite a very strong push from the Maple Leafs.
