Toronto Maple Leafs vs Florida Panthers Betting Analysis

After a solid spell winning six of their seven games across the beginning of March, the Florida Panthers are now reeling after dropping four straight games, and their playoff hopes are looking ever slimmer as a result.

The Panthers’ lopsided 5-2 loss against the Ottawa Senators on Monday means they now have a roughly 23% chance to make the playoffs, so a positive result on the road against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday is almost essential.

Facing them in this one are a team in Toronto that have already booked their ticket into the playoffs this season, and who own a seven-point cushion in the Atlantic Division over the chasing Tampa Bay Lightning.

This will be the third of four meetings between the two teams this season after Toronto won both of the previous two matchups, both home and away, earlier this year.

That’s been a familiar tale across recent seasons between these two also, with the Leafs winning nine of their last ten matchups against the Panthers in Toronto.

Power Play Goals Against Once Again Doom Florida

Penalty trouble once again cost the Florida Panthers against the Ottawa Senators on Monday as the Senators scored three power-play goals in that game, something that remains a major concern for the Panthers in terms of generating positive results this season.

Only the Arizona Coyotes have given up more power play goals on the season than the Florida Panthers currently have, and they face a team on Wednesday in Toronto who own the league’s 3rd highest power play percentage this season, a potentially dangerous combination for the Panthers.

Returning Home No Issue For Toronto

While returning home after a prolonged road trip has often been considered somewhat of a flat spot for teams, that hasn’t been the case for this Toronto Maple Leafs team who relish returning home to the Scotiabank Arena after an extended road trip.

The Leafs have gone 17-4 in their last 21 home games after coming off a prolonged road trip of seven or more days, and it’ll no doubt be interesting to see if they can continue that same energy into Wednesday’s matchup against Florida also.

Toronto Maple Leafs vs Florida Panthers Expert Prediction

The Florida Panthers seem rattled right now, with Panthers head coach Paul Maurice highlighting Florida’s unnecessary chasing of the game in Saturday’s loss against the New York Rangers, something that didn’t exactly improve in their subsequent start against the Ottawa Senators either.

While the Panthers desperately need a win in this one, that pressure may well work against them here as they face a team in Toronto who have been extremely efficient in their offensive production this year.

They rank 7th and 8th respectively on high-danger conversion percentage and shot conversion percentage also, and as previously stated, are incredibly dangerous from power play situations as well.

Take the Toronto Maple Leafs to heap even more misery onto the Florida Panthers on Wednesday with an outright home win in Scotiabank Arena.

Prediction: Toronto Maple Leafs Moneyline (-145)
