The Panthers come into this as the favorites, while the Maple Leafs are a team that could shock a lot of people with a win. However, in order to do that, they must field a solid lineup.
As for the rest of the lines, they are exactly the same as they were in Game 6 against the Ottawa Senators. Max Pacioretty will play with John Tavares and William Nylander.
Anthony Stolarz is the project starter in Game 1 against the Florida Panthers which should not be a surprise whatsoever.
Hopefully, the Leafs can have a strong start to this series and put the Florida Panthers on their heels early on. That is the only way they can pull off an upset.
