Panthers advance with victory over Maple Leafs in Game 7

Brad Marchand and Eetu Luostarinen each had a goal and two assists for the visiting Florida Panthers, who advanced to the Eastern Conference Final of the Stanley Cup Playoffs with a 6-1 win in Game 7 against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sunday.

Seth Jones had a goal and an assist, and Aleksander Barkov had two assists for the Panthers, who reached the conference final for a third straight year. Sergei Bobrovsky made 19 saves.

Max Domi scored, and Joseph Woll made 28 saves for the Maple Leafs, who haven't won a Game 7 since 2004.

Jones gave Florida a 1-0 lead at 3:15 of the second period, carrying the puck to the right circle on a 2-on-1 and firing a wrist shot that beat Woll on the far side over his right shoulder.

Anton Lundell made it 2-0 at 7:18. Woll stopped a shot from Marchand, but the rebound bounced out in front to the low slot, and Lundell quickly put it past the goalie stick side.

Jonah Gadjovich increased it to 3-0 just over two minutes later. A.J. Greer retrieved his own rebound down low and fed it through the slot over to Gadjovich for a quick wrister that beat Woll five-hole at 9:39.

Florida outshot Toronto 18-5 in the second period.

Domi gave the Maple Leafs some life at 2:07 of the third period. Spotting the Panthers on a line change, Bobby McMann sent a diagonal cross-ice pass to Domi at the Florida blue line, and Domi took it to the left circle for a snap shot that cut the deficit to 3-1.

The Panthers responded 47 seconds later, with Luostarinen redirecting Marchand's shot from the left wall short side under Woll's stick to make it 4-1.

Sam Reinhart extended the lead to 5-1 at 9:24. Barkov won the faceoff and Reinhart was first to retrieve the loose puck above the left circle, snapping it through traffic over Woll's left shoulder.

Toronto pulled Woll for the extra attacker with more than four minutes remaining and Marchand put one into the empty net at 16:57 for the 6-1 final.
