The third game in the NHL playoffs’ series between Florida Panthers and Toronto Maple Leafs will take place next Friday at 05:00 pm CST, a game that is expected to be one of the greatest challenges for Florida in the season after losing the first two games of the series. With that scenario in mind, the Panthers must exponentially change their offensive strategy during the first period.

In this matter, it’s worth noting that Florida Panthers haven’t found a player that could act as an offensive reference during the first two games of the series, in which they had a lot of complications to generate dangerous opportunities during the first periods. Despite that, one of the positive news for Florida was the fact that Brad Marchand scored during the second game of the series.

Meanwhile, Toronto Maple Leafs properly did their job in their home games, however they also faced an important lack of efficiency to produce a big number of dangerous opportunities during the first period in Game 2. Despite that, the ephemeral appearance of Max Pacioretty gave them the advantage to manage the rest of the game, however Auston Matthews is still expected to appear.
