Morning Coffee: Panthers Stun Maple Leafs In Comeback Win

If you didn’t know, then now you know.

No lead is safe against the Florida Panthers.

Trailing the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-1 in the second period on Tuesday night, FanDuel Sportsbook had the Panthers at +1500 to win outright.

That number represents a 6.3 per cent implied win probability.

Shout out to whoever it was that grabbed them at that price.

It was Time To Hunt.

For the second time in less than a week, Florida rallied from down four goals to win outright.

It was the Panthers’ fifth straight win and eighth in their last nine games dating back to March 18th.

All of a sudden, the battle for the Presidents’ Trophy is an interesting one heading into the final stretch.

Here’s the TSN EDGE Morning Coffee for Wednesday April 6th, 2022.

Trailing 5-1 in the second, Florida scored three goals in just over six minutes to cut the deficit to one, then scored twice in the first 10 minutes of the third period to take a 6-5 lead.

Claude Giroux on the atmosphere tonight at @flalivearena: “Fans are in the game. It was 5-1, we made it 5-2, and it’s like the crowd knew we were coming back. It was pretty loud out there.” #TORvsFLA pic.twitter.com/AOwGEgrgKn

While John Tavares scored a power play goal late to help Toronto salvage a point by getting to overtime, Jonathan Huberdeau scored the overtime winner for the Panthers to cap off a five-point performance.

Huberdeau, who entered the night tied for the third-shortest odds to win the Hart Memorial Trophy at FanDuel, went from +1000 to +850
