Leafs offense again disappears in Game 5 loss to Panthers

TORONTO -- The Maple Leafs' offense was missing in action again in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals Wednesday night, as a 6-1 loss to the Florida Panthers now has Toronto facing playoff elimination.

The Leafs, who were shut out 2-0 in Game 4, didn't score until the final two minutes of Game 5 and now trail 3-2 in the best-of-seven series after holding a 2-0 lead.

Toronto's top skaters were, again, invisible. Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner and William Nylander have yet to record a goal in the second round.
