The third round of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs are here with 4 teams vying to capture Lord Stanley's Cup. Join THW as we preview the round.
The NHL’s final four is set. What comes next? Our picks for Panthers-Hurricanes, Oilers-Stars, Stanley Cup champion and Conn Smythe winner.
The Maple Leafs (52-26-4) finished first in the Atlantic Division with 108 points, six ahead of the Tampa Bay Lightning and eight of the Panthers. Toronto then won only its second postseason series in 21 years by eliminating the Ottawa Senators in six games in the first round.
Now, the 2015 No. 4 overall pick is set to hit free agency this offseason, as his six-year deal with a $10.903 million AAV comes to an end. Many are wondering what the future holds for him, as the core group of Marner, Auston Matthews, William Nylander, and John Tavares has repeatedly failed to deliver in the playoffs when it matters most.
The Toronto Maple Leafs coach is giving an update to star winger Matthew Knies. Knies got hurt in Game 6 of the Leafs-Panthers series.
