NHL Playoffs 2025: Stanley Cup schedule, bracket, scores, as Panthers get OT win to get back into series

The reigning Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers avoided the dreaded 0-3 series hole on the strength of an overtime goal Friday night to climb back into their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Brad Marchand scored off of a deflection in overtime to give the host Panthers the improbable 5-4 victory.

The Maple Leafs were up 2-0 after the first period, which has been as close to clinching a win as it gets in the NHL this season. Heading into Friday’s game, Toronto was 30-3-0 when leading after the opening period and 44-3-1 when having a two-goal lead. The Panthers erased two two-goal deficits, and even took a 4-3 lead after a three-goal second period. Florida will have a chance to even the series in Game 4 Sunday evening.

In the Western Conference, the Winnipeg Jets produced a completely effort in a 4-0 win against the Dallas Stars in Game 2 of their second-round series. Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers — who recently returned from injury — scored two goals and added an assist to pace his team. Meanwhile, Winnipeg goaltender Connor Hellebuyck turned aside all 22 shots that he faced in his first shutout of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Game 3 will be Sunday afternoon.
