Where to watch Florida Panthers vs Toronto Maple Leafs?

The conference clash between teams from similar positions in the table will take place at Amerant Bank Arena on April 17 at 01:30 and you can watch it on Nova Sport 1.

Florida is a dangerous team at home

Last year’s somewhat surprising Stanley Cup finalist is playing even better hockey this season and is at least thinking about the finals this time as well. Florida has a very strong offense with Reinhart, Thachuk and Barkov. Sergei Bobrovsky is a certainty in goal. However, Toronto has an even more overwhelming offense and the duels between these two teams are always very even, so almost anyone can win this duel.

Will Matthews surpass the 70-goal mark for the season?

Players like Marner, Tavares and Matthews can decide almost every game. The latter could make NHL history by becoming the first player in modern history to break the 70-goal mark in a season. So far, only legends like Gretzky, Hull, Lemieux, Kurri, Nicholls, Selanne and Mogilnyj have done it. So it is to be expected that the entire team will be looking for Matthews to be the one to get the finishing touches.

Florida Panthers vs Toronto Maple Leafs odds

Betting tip – Auston Matthews to score a goal

The American cannonballer is fully aware that he can make history. Moreover, in the last game he outplayed the Panthers goalkeeper on two occasions. Matthews will rush to the finish in this game and at least one shot could end up behind the goalkeeper’s back. Fortuna has odds of 1.90 on him scoring again.
