With their backs against the wall following back-to-back home losses to start the Eastern Conference Semifinal, the Toronto Maple Leafs needed a strong performance from their stars.
Auston Matthews, John Tavares and Mitchell Marner, who make a combined $33.5 million per season, combined for zero points and a combined minus-three plus/minus as the team fell 3-2 in overtime to the Florida Panthers.
The winning goal was scored by Sam Reinhart, his fifth of the postseason. This was the third overtime victory for the Panthers this postseason, and it becomes abundantly clear that the squad is peaking at the right time.
