The reigning champion Florida Panthers attempt to even their Eastern Conference second-round series at two wins apiece when they host the Toronto Maple Leafs as the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs continue Sunday. In a Western Conference matchup, the Presidents' Trophy-winning Winnipeg Jets visit the Dallas Stars for Game 3 with the series even at 1-1.

But this time there's a twist. In 2021 and 2022, the Lightning were the defending Stanley Cup champion; this time the Panthers are. Each time the two teams have faced each other, the winner of the series has gone on to reach the Stanley Cup Final.
