Sergei Bobrovsky made 34 saves, Matthew Tkachuk had three assists and the Florida Panthers<\/a> survived a squandered two-goal lead to defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2 on Tuesday night in opening game of their second-round playoff series.<\/p>\n

Sam Bennett had a goal and an assist and Carter Verhaeghe<\/a> and Nick Cousins also scored for Florida. Aleksander Barkov had two assists.<\/p>\n

Matthew Knies had his first NHL goal and Michael Bunting also scored for Toronto. Ilya Samsonov stopped 24 shots.<\/p>\n

Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Panthers had roared back from a 3-1 deficit to stun the record-setting Boston Bruins with three straight victories and take that first-round series in seven games.<\/p>\n

The Maple Leafs ended a generation of misery Saturday when John Tavares scored in overtime of Game 6 against the Tampa Bay Lightning as Toronto advance in the postseason for the first time since 2004.<\/p>\n

Tied at 2 late in the second period with the Maple Leafs<\/a> pushing, the Panthers silenced the towel-waving crowd at Scotiabank Arena.<\/p>\n

Verhaeghe, who scored the dramatic winner in Game 7 against Boston on Sunday, took a pass from Anthony Duclair and gave Florida the lead for good when he beat Samsonov on a breakaway at 17:47 for his fourth goal of the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Toronto had a couple opportunities to tie it in the third, but never really threatened Bobrovsky before Montour blasted a one-timer on a delayed penalty at 12:24.<\/p>\n

Bobrovsky then denied William Nylander on a terrific toe stop with just over a minute left in regulation on Toronto\u2019s best chance to close within one.<\/p>\n

The Maple Leafs are in the second round of the playoffs for the first time since Jeremy Roenick scored in overtime of Game 6 for the Philadelphia Flyers to eliminate Toronto on May 4, 2004 \u2014 a stretch of 18 years, 11 months and 28 days.<\/p>\n

After Toronto had a number of terrific looks on two power plays, the Panthers struck when Cousins scored his first on a rebound at 9:25 of the opening period.<\/p>\n

Helped when a shot clanged off the post earlier in the period, Samsonov made big stops on Anton Lundell and Barkov.<\/p>\n

Bobrovsky made a couple huge saves off Auston Matthews on a Maple Leafs power play in the second before Florida went up 2-0 at 7:58, when Bennett tipped a point shot past Samsonov that initially hit the stick of Knies.<\/p>\n

The Toronto rookie made amends 11 seconds later when he scored his first professional goal on a highlight-reel effort between his skates with his back to Florida\u2019s goal after Bobrovsky made the initial save.<\/p>\n

Maple Leafs defenseman Luke Schenn then rocked Tkachuk with a big hit in the neutral zone before Bunting, who was suspended three games in the first round and made a healthy scratch for another, scored his first of the postseason at 14:51 following a perfect pass from Calle Jarnkrok.<\/p>\n

Duclair sprung Verhaeghe later in the shift and he put the Panthers up 3-2.<\/p>\n

BUSY TAVARES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apart from scoring the overtime goal that gave the Maple Leafs their first series win in 19 years, the Toronto captain and his wife recently welcome their third child, a daughter named Rae.<\/p>\n

“An absolute whirlwind for him,” Toronto center Ryan O\u2019Reilly said before the game.<\/p>\n

MAURICE LOOKS BACK<\/strong><\/p>\n

Panthers head coach Paul Maurice was behind the bench when the Carolina Hurricanes topped the Maple Leafs in the 2002 Eastern Conference final<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t think we gave up a five-on-five goal in that series,” he said. “That was back in when you could get away with clutching and grabbing.<\/p>\n

“We were really good at it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
