The Toronto Maple Leafs snapped their 2-game skid on Tuesday with a decisive 7-2 win over New Jersey and will return home tonight to face the Florida Panthers with revenge on their minds. The Leafs fell to the Panthers just last week in Florida, 4-3, in a game they were clearly taking for granted. Toronto sits in 2nd place in the Atlantic Division with a record of 22-10-2 and are 9-5-1 at Scotiabank Arena. The Panthers have won two in a row but I wouldn’t get too excited. They are just 2-4 in their last 6 overall and 1-4 in their last 5 on the road. Florida sits dead last in the Atlantic with a record of 13-13-6 and are 6-8-2 on the road. Toronto has won the last 5 meetings against Florida at home and after tonight it will be 6.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS
