- In the series so far, Toronto won the first two games (5-4 and 4-3), but Florida sprung back winning three of the last four, including an overtime thriller and a dominating 6-1 win. The head-to-head trend strongly favors Florida lately, especially on home ice.
- Current reports do not indicate any key injuries significantly impacting either team’s lineup at this stage of the playoffs. Both teams are expected to field their full competitive rosters.
