The Toronto Maple Leafs held off a determined Florida Panthers squad to secure a 5-4 victory in Game 1 of their second-round playoff series on Monday night. William Nylander was the offensive catalyst for the Maple Leafs, scoring two goals and adding an assist in a dominant first period that saw Toronto jump out to a 3-1 lead.

While the Maple Leafs built a 4-1 lead heading into the third period, the Panthers mounted a furious comeback attempt, scoring three goals to tie the game at 4-4. However, Matthew Knies ultimately netted the game-winner for Toronto with just over six minutes remaining in regulation.

The game wasn't without its drama, as Maple Leafs starting goaltender Anthony Stolarz left the game in the second period with an undisclosed injury after an apparent collision. Joseph Woll stepped in relief and made 17 saves to help Toronto secure the win. Seth Jones, Eetu Luostarinen, Uvis Balinskis, and Sam Bennett scored for the Panthers, while Brad Marchand and Carter Verhaeghe each registered two assists.

The Maple Leafs took a crucial 1-0 series lead, but the close nature of the game and the Panthers' resilience suggest a hard-fought series is ahead. Game 2 is scheduled for Wednesday in Toronto.
