<h2 id="dr4o3">Prediction</h2>
<p>Well, Game 1 didn’t quite go as planned if you are a Maple Leafs fan, as the Florida Panthers carried their momentum from knocking off the President Trophy winner Boston Bruins in 7 games and bagged Game 1, 4-2.</p>
<figure class="embed strchf-type-embed regular strchf-size-regular strchf-align-center">

<p>The Panthers came out aggressive and continued their huge momentum over from their massive Round 1 victory, and will look to do more of the same tonight to try and take a huge 2-0 lead down to Florida for Game 3.</p>
<p>Brandon Montour and Matthew Tkachuk both were fantastic in Game 1, with Montour continuing his fantastic scoring form and Tkachuk recording a hat trick of assists.</p>

<p>The Panthers will look to do more of the same in Game 2 tonight, while the Maple Leafs will be looking to push back and climb right back into the series.</p>
<p>The Leafs couldn’t quite get it going in Game 1. Toronto had plenty of chances but just couldn&#8217;t convert to keep pace with the fast-paced Cats.</p>
<p>The Leafs outshot the Panthers 36-28 and will look to put GK Sergei Bobrovski under the same amount of pressure again tonight, if not more.</p>
<p>A bright spot for the Leafs in Game 1 was the play of Morgan Rielly, who was able to bag another point, moving his point streak to 6 games. Auston Matthews and William Nylander were also great, with 13 Shots on goal between them but no goals to show for it.</p>
<p>More on Nylander shortly so keep reading 😉</p>
<p>Look for the talented duo to keep firing tonight and lead the offense for Toronto.</p>
<h2 id="1kio">Best Bet</h2>
<p>This series is looking like it has the potential to go the distance and will be a fight from start to finish every game.</p>
<p>Tonight, I love the Leafs to level the series and pick up a big win at home before heading to South Florida for Games 3 and 4.</p>
<p>I was almost going to take the Puck line but I will play it safe and go with the Leafs in Regulation to get the job done for a nice playable value.</p>
<p>Go, Leafs, Go!</p>

<p>Well, if you have been following me all season, you know I love betting on Willy and his SOGs. Today feels like a perfect spot to go right back.</p>
<p>He was awesome in game 1, with 7 Shots on goal on 8 attempts. He doesn’t have incredible success against the Panthers but the volume of attempts is there, as he has 6+ attempts in 4 of his last 6 versus Florida.</p>
<p>For the nice value and the added incentive of the Leafs needing to win this game, I love Nylander to pick up right where he left off in Game 1.</p>
<p>The ladder is a nice option too. He had 7 in game 1 and the attempts will be there. I could see him shooting early and often once again in this one, and possibly scoring a goal.</p>
