When the Toronto Maple Leafs-Florida Panthers schedule will start
After the Toronto Maple Leafs knocked off the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night, there was a collective exhale across the fanbase.
Avoiding turning a 3-0 series lead into another epic collapse, Toronto fans generally had one question once things had calmed down a little bit: when’s the next game?
By beating Ottawa, Toronto has earned the right to play the Florida Panthers in the second round of the playoffs, a rematch of a 2023 series the Leafs dropped in five games.
And as the Atlantic Division winners, they’ll get home-ice advantage in the series, hosting up to four games in comparison to Florida’s three.
Late on Saturday night, the NHL released the full schedule for Round 2:
Game 1: Florida at Toronto, Monday, May 5, 8 pm EDT
Game 2: Florida at Toronto, Wednesday, May 7, 7 pm EDT
Game 3: Toronto at Florida, Friday, May 9, TBD
Game 4: Toronto at Florida, Sunday, May 11, TBD
Game 5: Florida at Toronto, Wednesday, May 15, TBD
Game 6: Toronto at Florida, Friday, May 16, TBD
Game 7: Florida at Toronto, Saturday, May 18, TBD
In any case, the league’s announcement of the full schedule will come in due time, with what’s sure to be an action-packed second round just around the corner.
