SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — There’s a question that Florida Panthers general manager Bill Zito likes to ask people. “Bill takes in all opinions, but he does what he thinks is right,” Panthers coach Paul Maurice said. “We travel with this really high-end coffee maker,” Tkachuk said when told of Zito’s belief that good coffee is vital. He’s really involved with helping us with whatever we need, but he’s not overly involved like where he’s in your face every day. “Those players are committed and committed to winning and being selfless, who are really, really good people.

☆ Stronger on defense, Panthers take on East-leading Bruins

November 21 - The Florida Panthers, who will go for their third straight win when they play host to the Boston Bruins Wednesday night, are getting an unexpected contribution from defenseman Niko Mikkola. July 1, the Panthers signed Mikkola to a three-year, $7.8 million contract. Indeed, in just 18 games this season, Mikkola - who made his NHL debut in January 2020 - has already matched his career high with three goals. The Bruins led that series 3-1 before Florida won the next two and then took Game 7 in overtime. That game was atypical for Boston as the Bruins have allowed more than two goals just four times this season -- all losses.

Mandatory Credit: John E. Sokolowski-USA TODAY SportsTORONTO, May 4 (Reuters) - The Toronto Maple Leafs were considered Stanley Cup favourites when the second round began but now have their backs to the wall and are staring at a 2-0 series deficit following a 3-2 loss to the Florida Panthers on Thursday. The Maple Leafs, who will play the next two games on the road, now face an uphill climb as NHL teams that have won the first two games of a best-of-seven playoff series have advanced 86% of the time. To be down 2-0 is not what we want but it's a long series and there's lot of hockey left," said Toronto forward Ryan O'Reilly. "We knew they were going to come out with a big push and they came out good," said Panthers forward Sam Bennett. But the Panthers roared back from a 3-1 series deficit to eliminate Boston and are now surprisingly in complete control while the Maple Leafs are reeling.
