The Hurricanes have won nine straight home games since losing their opener to Tampa Bay. The home-ice streak matches the second-longest in franchise history. Carolina has produced at least one power-play goal in five consecutive games. "The power play is about execution," Brind'Amour said. "You always have a plan, but they executed."

The NHL odds favor Florida but Toronto has been the far better team lately led by the red-hot Mitch Marner. He's been a Panther killer throughout his career and my Maple Leafs vs. Panthers predictions are betting on it happening again tonight.

Carter Verhaeghe's three-point night helped the Florida Panthers snap their four-game losing streak with a 5-1 win, cooling off the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday night in Sunrise.

Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Jackson Blake scored 2:07 apart midway through the third period, and the Carolina Hurricanes rallied to beat the New York Rangers 4-3 on Wednesday night. Jack Drury and Seth Jarvis also scored as the Hurricanes won their ninth straight at home.

Aleksander Barkov and Carter Verhaeghe had power-play goals, Sam Reinhart had a short-handed score and the Florida Panthers beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-1 for only their second win in eight games

The Panthers beat the Maple Leafs 5-1 to snap an uncharacteristic four-game losing streak that obviously didn’t sit well with this proud team.
