Toronto 4, Florida 1

Toronto's win featured first goals of the season from Stecher and Laughton, with the Maple Leafs securing their third victory in four games, despite Florida's roster challenges.

  • On Tuesday in SUNRISE, Fla., the Toronto Maple Leafs topped the Florida Panthers 4-1 as Troy Stecher and Scott Laughton scored their first goals of the season.
  • With key players sidelined, Florida's roster looked different than last spring's with multiple long-term injured players absent, and Jack Studnicka made his Panthers debut after his first NHL game since April 2024.
  • Key contributions included Bobby McMann recording two assists and John Tavares adding an empty-net goal with 18.6 seconds left, while Sam Reinhart scored a short-handed goal.
  • Up next for both teams: the Maple Leafs visit Carolina on Thursday, while Florida hosts Nashville, after Florida's loss deepened its four defeats in five games and four straight at home.
  • It was the teams' first meeting since last spring's second-round playoff series, where Florida Panthers won Games 5 and 7 in Toronto en route to their second consecutive Stanley Cup.
