HOW TO WATCH
—
Toronto has scored four or more goals in each of its last four playoff games, one of three such streaks in Maple Leafs postseason history and the first time that’s happened since 1999. They’re also the first team to have such a run in this year’s playoffs.
Scoring isn’t the problem. The issue is whether Florida has found its scoring groove as well.

The Panthers are now 21-0-0 this season — and winners of 52 consecutive games since 2023, including playoffs — when scoring at least five goals. And they needed all five on Friday, with Marchand’s OT winner cutting Toronto’s series lead to 2-1.
“It’s a battle,” said Toronto’s John Tavares, who had two goals in Game 3. “Excited about the opportunity that we have on Sunday. We’re right there, so just keep going. We know we can be better in a lot of areas.”
Goaltenders have taken some hits in this series.
The Leafs said Saturday that Anthony Stolarz, who left Game 1, is progressing but has not resumed skating — indicating that Joseph Woll makes his third consecutive start on Sunday. Woll has allowed 11 goals on 84 shots, an .869 save percentage. Bobrovsky has allowed 13 goals on 81 shots, an .840 save percentage.
