The Toronto Maple Leafs live to see another day in the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs.
Down 3-0 and on the verge of elimination in their second-round series against the Florida Panthers, the Maple Leafs rallied for a 2-1 victory Wednesday night at FLA Live Arena to keep their title hopes alive.
After a scoreless first period, William Nylander opened the scoring on the power play at the 3:29 mark of the middle frame to put Toronto up 1-0.

The Panthers made a significant push in the third period in an attempt to tie the game, but Maple Leafs rookie netminder Joseph Woll was outstanding in the crease, stopping 24 of 25 shots in the win.
