The Leafs led 2-0 within the first six minutes and 3-1 at the start of the second period. After that, three unanswered goals by Sam Reinhart, Carter Verhaeghe, and Jonah Gadjovich put Florida ahead before Morgan Rielly tied it 4-4 in the third.

With the benefit of last change on home ice, Panthers coach Paul Maurice's matchup changes were the root cause of Toronto's Game 3 loss.

The Maple Leafs defenseman understandably was devastated after Brad Marchand ’s shot deflected off him and past goalie Joseph Woll at 15:27 of overtime to give the Florida Panthers a 5-4 victory in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Second Round at Amerant Bank Arena on Friday.
