See Picks & Statistics For The Game

Down in Florida, the Panthers did their job and tied this series up at two games each. The Toronto Maple Leafs will host Game 5 of this seven-game series tonight. We should be in for a hard-fought battle. Let's recap Game 4 and then get into the Panthers vs. Leafs picks.

Game 4 was probably the least entertaining. The Panthers got out to 1-0 lead late in the 1st period with a goal by Carter Verhaeghe. From there, the game was an absolute snooze fest.

We didn't see another goal until 12 minutes into the 3rd period by Sam Bennett. This put the Panthers up 2-0 to seal the deal as they would go on to win the game. Bobrovsky got the 23-shot shutout and Woll got absolutely peppered. Woll saw 37 shots from Florida and allowed the 2 goals.

Here we go into a pivotal Game 5 at Scotiabank Arena. Toronto was super flat last game and needs to bring back the offense from the previous three games. The Leafs will need to get it together to get another home win.

Will Florida play the bully and steal Game 5 in Toronto?

Leafs winger Mitch Marner gets a shot off as he crashes into Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky.

We all know that the Panthers are the more physical team here. I think it's what gives them their edge once they get going. Toronto is more of a skilled team and not out there crushing dudes.

Florida almost won Game 1 and 2 in Toronto, losing each game by only one goal. Both games were tough and action packed – extremely exciting and perfect playoff hockey. It carried over to Florida for Game 3, but we lost it in Game 4. This game is too important for it not to be another slug fest.

Bobrovsky should settle in just fine in this game coming off the shutout. If his defense holds the Leafs to 23 shots again, that'll help just fine. Bob saw 30 shots in Game 1 and only 20 shots in Game 2, but he allowed four goals in Game 2.

It's going to be a battle, and one team's going to get the edge. Let's check out the odds and get into the picks.

I really think Florida has Toronto's number now and they better watch out. The Panthers were not happy with the ending in Game 4 after the hit on Sasha Barkov. Matthew Tkachuk already told William Nylander to be ready in Game 5.

Between the Panthers having a read on the Leafs and their hunger not only to win, but the revenge factor, give me them all day. We're paying a little bit of juice, but that's ok. You can also take them to win in regulation for +110, but be careful as there has been an overtime game.

The Panthers offense was firing on all cylinders last time out. I really like three guys that played really well on Sunday. That is Sam Reinhart, Sam Bennett, and Sasha Barkov. The three combined for 16 of the teams 37 shots, which is 43%. I like them all for three shots or more – parlay them all together.

I also like for Woll to get peppered again. The Panthers are going to do what it takes to win this game and go back home to close out the series. And that's fire the puck and hope good things happen. His over 26.5 saves is +100 and looks tasty after a 30+ save performance.
