The Florida Panthers dropped Game 1 of their second-round series against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night, falling 5-4 at Scotiabank Arena despite a late push for a comeback. After trailing 4-1 through two periods, the Panthers scored three goals in the final frame to close the gap, but couldn’t find an equalizer in the final minutes.

Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Anthony Stolarz was hospitalized after taking a forearm to the head during the Maple Leafs' 5-4 victory over the Florida Panthers in Game 1 on Monday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

During Game 2 of the 2023 second round, Bennett and Maple Leafs forward Matthew Knies got tangled up before Bennett slammed the Toronto rookie to the ice, causing a concussion. Knies finished the period but would not play in the remainder of the best-of-7 series, which the Panthers won in five games.
