The Maple Leafs fell 6-1 to the Florida Panthers in Game 7 of their second-round series, marking their seventh consecutive Game 7 loss and extending the franchise’s Eastern Conference Final drought to 23 years. Toronto’s Core Four of Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, William Nylander, and John Tavares combined for zero points in the Game 7 loss.

None of the Maple Leafs were. This was the biggest game in franchise history in 23 years. With a victory in Game 7 of the best-of-7 Eastern Conference Second Round, Toronto would reach the conference final for the first time since 2002 when they faced the Carolina Hurricanes.

Sergei Bobrovsky made 19 saves, Florida scored three times in a 6:24 span in the second period and the Panthers routed the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-1 in Game 7 on Sunday night to advance to the Eastern Conference final.
