Toronto appeared to be in control after two games, winning the first two matchups at Scotiabank Arena before the series moved to South Florida. The Panthers punched back on home ice, picking up a pair of victories in Sunrise to knot the series back up at two games apiece.

The Florida Panthers beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 2–0 on Sunday night to tie their series a two games a piece.
The swing game in the series is on Wednesday in Toronto. Panthers head coach Paul Maurice spoke after practice on Tuesday. Maurice said he expects the series to be even more intense than it has been so far.
