Aleksander Barkov scored in the first period for the Panthers after the Maple Leafs jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, a tally that helped spark Florida the rest of the game after the team looked flat in the opening six minutes. John Tavares scored twice for Toronto, while Matthew Knies opened scoring for the Maple Leafs 23 seconds into the game.
