Paul Maurice Confirms Horrible News for the Florida Panthers Before Game 5

The Florida Panthers have received some bad news today as Evan Rodrigues is officially out for Game 5.

Jesper Boqvist will be entering the lineup as the Panthers look to take a 3-2 series lead over the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Of course, today is a big game for the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Florida Panthers with this series officially making its way back to Toronto.

After winning the first two games of the series, the Maple Leafs have hit a bit of a snag, and as it stands, the Florida Panthers are the ones currently dominating the ice.

The series is now tied 2-2 and there is a real possibility here that the Leafs blow the series and allow the Panthers to walk right into a potential series lead, which would be a disaster.

The last time these two teams faced off in the playoffs was all the way back in 2023 and the Panthers won the series in five game. The Leafs have made progress but the fans want a win.

Coming into this game, the Toronto Maple Leafs will have Joseph Woll in net and according to Craig Berube, some lineup changes are coming.

Whether or not they will be big lineup changes, still remains to be seen. If one thing is for certain, it is that the fans want to see a win and nothing else.

With the energy of the Scotiabank Arena behind the team, there are not going to be any excused for this match. The Leafs must make good on their promise.

Only time will tell if the Leafs can hold up under pressure or succumb like they always seem to do.
