It Was Just Confirmed For Former Boston Bruins Captain Brad Marchand And The Florida Panthers

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers are set to open the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs on Monday night.

After game six between the St. Louis Blues, and the Winnipeg Jets, where the Blues ended up forcing a game 7 by winning 5-2, Sportsnet ended up revealing when round-two of the Stanley Cup Playoffs will take place for the Leafs and Panthers.

Game one between the Florida Panthers and Toronto Maple Leafs is set to take place on Monday night, and it's going to be a late game with it starting at 8 p.m. ET.

Thursday night, the Toronto Maple Leafs finally closed out their series against the Ottawa Senators by defeating them by a score of 4-2. This is the second time in three seasons the Leafs have been able to make it to the second-round, after they did it back in 2023 knocking out the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Florida Panthers look like a scary team, especially after acquiring ex-Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand during the NHL trade deadline, and are the defending Stanley Cup Champions looking to win it in back-to-back years.

Game one between the two teams is going to be the Leafs latest game of the postseason. In the first-round, they ended up playing one 7:30 p.m. ET, all other games had a 7 p.m. ET start time.

The reason the game is being pushed back to an 8 p.m. start time is most likely due to the NHL Draft Lottery taking place on Monday night, and will begin at 7 p.m. ET.

After beating the Ottawa Senators, the Leafs took Friday off as a rest day, and will now prepare to take on Brad Marchand and the Florida Panthers in which will be their toughest challenge so far.
