Sturm’s high-end penalty killing, as well as his ability in the face-off circle (51.1 percent in 15 games with Florida during the regular season), was a big reason why the Panthers acquired him from the Sharks prior to the Trade Deadline.

Max Pacioretty and Max Domi each had a goal and an assist for the Toronto Maple Leafs in a 4-3 win against the Florida Panthers.

Mitch Marner scored the tiebreaking goal in the third period and the Maple Leafs beat the Panthers 4-3 on Wednesday night to take a 2-0 lead in their second-round playoff series.
