Panthers vs. Maple Leafs Series Picks

It has already been a season of progression for the Maple Leafs after winning the division title for the first time since 2013-14. However, playoff series wins have still been a rarity, with their first round success against the Lightning in 2022-23 being their only win since 2004.

But, there is something different about the team this season, and we could see their dreams of Stanley Cup success continue into the conference finals in 2025.
