The Florida Panthers, who lost the first two games of the series, went ahead 3-2 with a 6-1 rout of the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 5.

End of second period: Panthers 4, Maple Leafs 3 Toronto scores early and Florida controls like, just like the first period. The difference this time: Florida puts in three goals to take the lead.

First-year Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube (2-1 in Game 7s) has Toronto playing better, but Panthers coach Paul Maurice is 5-0. Florida's championship pedigree will win out.
