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 netting power-play goals, while Sam Reinhart added a short-handed score. Mackie Samoskevich and Sam Bennett also contributed to the scoreboard, with Sergei Bobrovsky making 24 saves.

The Maple Leafs, despite Mitch Marner's goal, saw their lead in the Atlantic Division shrink to just one point. The game was marred by an injury to forward Bobby McMann, who left in the second period.
