Despite allowing the Florida Panthers to tie their second-round series at two games apiece (and allowing the Ottawa Senators two wins after initially taking a 3-0 series lead), Toronto has been able to keep themselves in the hunt for the Stanley Cup as long as the franchise has seen since 2004.

Toronto is teetering on the delicate line between wanting to show that it won't back down and taking things too far against Florida.

TORONTO -- The Toronto Maple Leafs will attempt to continue the trend of the home team holding serve and take the series lead in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Second Round at Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday (7 p.m. ET; CBC, TVAS, SN, ESPN).

After limping home from Toronto 0-2, the Panthers have momentum after playing their best game of the Stanley Cup second-round series in Game 4, a 2-0 win.

The Toronto Maple Leafs take the ice for the biggest game of their season Wednesday night, with a chance to push the Florida Panthers to the brink of elimination in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

With a second win over the Florida Panthers, the Toronto Maple Leafs are in the midst of their most successful playoff run in just over 20 years.

It's looking like Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll will be between the pipes for Game 3 against the Panthers on Friday night.
