Panthers vs Maple Leafs Prediction & Pick
Woll's performance needs to be touched on again as the 24-year-old rookie was nearly perfect in what was his first career playoff start for the Maple Leafs. He stepped in for an injured Ilya Samsonov (upper body) and showed little to no panic as he stopped one Panthers' shot after another at the net.
Woll is expected to start again on Friday, but replicating his success from Game 4 will be tough given that Florida has won each of its last f ive games on the road. The Panthers are averaging a solid 4.2 goals per game during that span and have held their opponents to an average of just 2.6 goals per game.
The experience difference at the net will be what decides Game 5. Florida's Sergei Brobrovsky knows how to deal with the pressure of the playoffs as he has 60 postseason starts under his belt. He was 6-0 in the playoffs prior to a Game 4 loss in which he only allowed 2 scores. Trust him to lead his squad.
Final Score Prediction:'Panthers: 3 | Maple Leafs: 2
Panthers vs Maple Leafs Best Bet
This best bet is all about trusting the trends. The total has hit the under in each of the first four games of this series as well as in each of the last six matchups between the Panthers and Maple Leafs. The Under has also cashed in each of Toronto's last six games overall.
The goaltenders flexed their muscles in Game 4 and will do so again at Scotiabank Arena in Game 5.
