The Panthers capitalized on several Leafs mistakes to win 4-2, while the Kraken got points from 11 players to outscore...
The Florida Panthers and the Seattle Kraken were the biggest stories in the first round with their upset wins over the Presidents’ Trophy winning Boston Bruins and the defending Stanley Cup champs in the Colorado Avalanche, and they reminded everyone that they still shouldn’t be written off with Game 1 wins.Panthers stay hot with 4-2 win to take series lead over Maple Leafs
Well, the Florida Panthers have themselves a decent winning streak, as they’ve now won four in a row after three straight to upset the Boston Bruins, and now another one to take a 1-0 series lead against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Seven minutes later and the Leafs tied it up, this time with a redemption goal from Michael Bunting after a series to forget against Tampa Bay. It seemed like a whole new hockey game, but that only lasted for 2:56 before Carter Verhaeghe notched the eventual game-winning goal to make it 3-2. Brandon Montour added some insurance on a delayed penalty goal midway through the third period, and the Panthers win Game 1 by a score of 4-2.
The Stars looked like they’d put the Kraken in their place to start the game, as Joe Pavelski scored the opening goal just 2:25 into the first in his first game since his injury in Round 1 against the Minnesota Wild. Even when Jaden Schwartz scored the tying goal midway through the period, the Stars responded less than a minute later with another goal from Pavelski, and looked to be ready for anything.
