🔁 Series Recap
Game 1 Recap:
Toronto took a 5-4 win in a dramatic opener, highlighted by William Nylander’s two-goal performance and a gutsy effort from backup goalie Joseph Woll, who stepped in after starter Anthony Stolarz exited following an elbow from Florida’s Sam Bennett. The Panthers made a late surge, but the Leafs’ early 4-1 cushion proved enough.
