Four defeats in succession take the Florida Panthers (4th in Atlantic Division) to a road contest against the Toronto Maple Leafs (2nd in Atlantic), who have won just a half of their past eight outings.
A season-high fourth consecutive defeat (0-4-0) came about for the Florida Panthers (36-31-7), who started their current four-game road trip with a 5-2 setback against the Ottawa Senators at Canadian Tire Centre on Monday. Gustav Forsling (12 goals, 38 points this year) picked up two markers for the Cats, cutting it to 2-1 at the start of the second period and to 3-2 midway through the third before the hosts buried two more snipes, including an empty-netter, subsequently. Florida, which killed just one of its four penalties against the Sens, trails the Pittsburgh Penguins for the 2nd Wild Card of the Eastern Conference by three points, having played an extra game.
