The Florida Panthers secured a decisive 5-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs, marking just their second win in eight games. Key contributions came from Aleksander Barkov and Carter Verhaeghe, both scoring on power plays, while Sam Reinhart added a short-handed goal.

Despite Mitch Marner's effort for Toronto, the Maple Leafs saw their division lead shrink to just one point. The game also featured a special ceremony for former Panthers players receiving their Stanley Cup rings.
