Woll was dialed in early during his first career playoff start. He made this shoulder save to keep the game scoreless.

Mitch Marner came up with a much needed insurance marker in the third. After some consistent pressure his point shot found it’s way through a crowd of bodies and past Bobrovsky to make it 2-0…

Florida got back into the game late. With 7:46 left Sam Reinhart finished off a pretty passing play to get the Cats within one. Woll stopped the original shot but Reinhart followed up on his rebound…
