The NHL second round is upon us, and the Maple Leafs are still alive. It’s just the second time the franchise has reached this round in the past nine postseasons.
Toronto earned the second-best record in the Eastern Conference and played the first wild card in the first round. The Maple Leafs secured a 3-0 lead, lost Games 4 and 5, but they punched their ticket to the second round in Game 6.
The Maple Leafs will play the reigning Stanley Cup champion Panthers in the second round. Florida upset the Tampa Bay in the opening round in five games.
It was an easy blowout for Florida, which finished the regular season with 98 points. The Panthers had four fewer points than the Lightning, so it wasn’t a dramatic upset, but it was still notable on their quest for back-to-back titles.
