The Leafs enter the Eastern Conference Semifinals after defeating the Ottawa Senators in six games. They took a 3-0 series lead and looked on the way to a sweep before the Senators took Game 4 in overtime. Center William Nylander led the team in points during the series with nine (3 G, 6 A), with Mitch Marner's eight (1G, 7 A) coming in second. While the Leafs took advantage of home ice advantage in Round 1, the Panthers did just the opposite, winning all three games in Tampa Bay en route to a 4-1 series victory. Only a Game 3 slipup at home (5-1) marred what was otherwise a masterful performance, keeping the league-leading Lightning (1st in NHL in goals) to just 12 goals in five games. 29-year-old center Sam Reinhart led the team with six points (2G, 4A) during Round 1. Florida and Toronto faced off four times during the regular season, with Florida winning three out of four. Live stream Florida Panthers vs Toronto Maple Leafs on Fubo: Start your subscription now!

Create Account 'They're riding that high, they know how to go through the playoff atmosphere all the way,' Maple Leaf defenceman Brandon Carlo said Monday before Game 1 against the Florida Panthers. 'You obviously want to be in that position as well, so you want to take down each great team along the way. 'We're going to enjoy that challenge, go head-on. You do that with a fearless mentality, the best way to approach it.' The Leafs have not beat a reigning Cup champion in playoffs since 1967 against the Montreal Canadiens. But Matthew Tkachuk didn't think his Panthers should be considered favourites. 'We're on the road and they had a better (regular season) than we did,' he said. 'We'll relish that role.' Coach Paul Maurice's team has made it past one round in defence of their title, a nasty five-game series against the state-rival Tampa Bay Lightning.

'The way the playoffs are structured, these are all division rivals and we have a history with each other now,' Maurice said. 'It makes the story more interesting. There's no Cinderella stories in the last eight teams that are left. They're all good teams and they all share consistency. The most consistent team is the easiest team to pre-scout.' HOME STRETCH Three of the four pucks in the Panthers' playoff trophy case they brought to Toronto for their room had Lightning logos on them, a sign of how well they play on the road. 'As you move on in playoffs, it's nice to get your team together with far fewer distractions,' Maurice told Florida media earlier this week of opening at Scotiabank Arena. 'The Toronto market changes that a bit, there's so much exposure. The regular-season road team-bonding trips, they're almost contrived, but this isn't. Everybody is singularly focused, you spend more time together, it keeps their mind right. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'You have your agenda, team meals on certain nights. If you have a close group — I find this natural and truthful — they have to like each other to be around each other. So, if they hang out together, that's great.' LATE, LATE SHOW Everyone loves the drama of long overtime, but the Leafs had to balance those two weekend marathons with getting some shut eye. Defenceman Chris Tanev had a brief chat with brother Brandon, who absorbed a hard shot to help the Jets beat St. Louis in double OT after Winnipeg tied it with seconds to go in regulation. He was in discomfort on the Jets' bench. 'A crazy, wild game,' Chris said, adding 'I fell asleep in overtime. Jake McCabe told me my brother blocked one at the end. A huge win when they obviously didn't look great at the start (down 2-0). They scratched and clawed and I give them a lot of credit.'

The Leafs have their own playoff puck collection rack, too, with four so far and room for 16 … Noting that Leafs mania is picking up around town after the Ottawa series, former captain Wendel Clark told a great story on CITY-TV's Breakfast Television last week, As fans and well-wishers swarmed the Church Street entrance of the Gardens in 1993 as the Leafs went longer into playoffs, Clark said Doug Gilmour would escape by wearing his own team sweater, pulling up his hoodie and pretending to be a fan … Maurice is happy for Leafs winger Mitch Marner becoming a dad on the weekend, pointing out the Panthers also had a 'gaggle' of new fathers recently. 'We have our own daycare going at the rink. It's awesome.' Yes, he thought the adrenalin would flow through Marner's game on Monday. 'But it's not on our pre-scout board — 'watch out for the new dads,'' joked the coach … Maurice recalled forward Darren Langdon having triplets in the early 2000s when he coached him in Carolina, with an 18-month-old already in the fold. Langdon would come to the rink early just to get some sleep … In town for Monday's game was former Leafs forward P.A. Parenteau, the club's leading goal scorer in 2015-16 with 20 just before Auston Matthews arrived. He is a former teammate of John Tavares on Long Island and friend of fellow New Brunswicker Philippe Myers. lhornby@ X: @sunhornby Columnists Canada Toronto Blue Jays Toronto & GTA Sunshine Girls
