T.M. Selection: Toronto Maple Leafs.

I like the Toronto Maple Leafs to win this game against the Florida Panthers on Sunday. The Leafs haven't looked good in their games lately with 2/3 losses in their previous 3 games and they just lost their most recent game to their rival team, the Canadiens, and that is a loss that has to sting to them since they are not only rivals but Montreal is also 1 of the worst teams in the league this year. They took a 1-0 lead in that game and then played from behind the rest of the way but I think they are due for a bounce back win here after that bad loss. The Panthers have won 3 games in a row now but they haven't even looked that great in their games. They escaped Montreal with a tight 4-3 win and then they went to Ottawa in their most recent game and won again 4-3 but in a shootout this time. The Panthers were trailing for that entire game, they went down 2-0 very early in the game and fought back but again went down 3-2 and the game stayed like that until very late. The Panthers had to pull their goalie and tie the game like that in the final minutes just to force OT and even in the OT they had to play shorthanded because of their issues with discipline in that game. They ended up winning that game in a shootout with 1 goal after the Senators missed all 3 of their shots but that game was too close and too many miracles had to happen in that game for them to win it. They haven't looked good lately and after that performance in Ottawa, I think the Leafs will get the win here. The Leafs are going to be angry from their loss to the Canadiens and they will be looking to take out that anger on the Panthers here on home ice. I like the Leafs to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Leafs.
