The Panthers now have four attempts to advance to the Conference Finals after 3-2 OT win over the Leafs gives...
After that, it went a little bit more back and forth. Sebastian Aho, Damon Severson, and Jordan Martinook exchanged goals in the second, with Martinook’s being a shorthanded goal, and the Devils took a 5-2 lead into the third.
Enter the third period, and it’s a similar stretch of garbage time hockey. Miles Wood and Jack Hughes both scored a couple minutes apart to put the game out of reach, but then the Canes responded quickly with back-to-back shorthanded goals from Jordan Staal and Seth Jarvis. Ondrej Palat got the final goal to make it a blowout again, and the Devils took the game 8-4.
Jack Hughes led the way with two goals and four points, Dawson Mercer had three assists, and Luke Hughes managed to get two assists in his playoff debut. And yes, there was a total of four shorthanded goals in the game, and somehow three came from the losing team.The Toronto Maple Leafs never seem to fail at making an absolute mockery of themselves.
The Leafs did jump out to an early 1-0 lead, as David Kampf set up Sam Lafferty on a 2-on-1, but like all series, it’s the Leafs depth that’s contributing to the offense. The Panthers took over for the rest of the period, but Ilya Samsonov kept the puck out of the net. And he would for the rest of the game. The problem was that he didn’t play the whole game, as he left early in the second period after a collision with Luke Schenn, meaning that young Joseph Woll would be going into the net, and it would be on the penalty kill.
