Leafs got some help yesterday from their old buddies the Boston Bruins as they took down the Panthers in regulation. Heading into tomorrow's matchup in Toronto, the Leafs are two points behind Florida with a game in hand.
Panthers had a 2-0 lead in the third period last night and couldn't close it out.
Last night was game one of the Panthers 6 game road trip. Florida plays 10 of their next 13 games on the road.There's two trips to Toronto in those 10 games away from South Florida.
Since January 18th the Panthers have 5 shutouts, there's 11 teams including the Leafs that don't have any in that time span.
Bobrovsky last 8 starts against Leafs 3-3-1, 3.83GAA, .872SV%
The Wild Card picture in the East is as tight as Scrooge's wallet strings. 5 points separates 6 teams for the final spot.
The Great 8 chase for 895, stalled last night, Washington scored 7 goals and Ovechkin had none.Capitals have scored 7 goals in a game, 43 times in Ovechkin's career, he's had a goal in 27 of those games.
