NHL referee leaves Panthers-Maple Leafs Game 7 bloody after catching high stick to the face - Yahoo Sports

A significant incident unfolded during Game 7 as referee Chris Rooney suffered a severe injury after being struck in the face by a high stick from Panthers defenseman Niko Mikkola. The incident occurred early in the second period, forcing Rooney to exit the game. Alternate referee Garrett Rank replaced him, and the match continued with the score still tied at 0-0.

Despite the disruption, the Florida Panthers quickly found their stride, with defenseman Seth Jones scoring the first goal shortly after Rooney's departure. The Panthers added two more goals, one from Anthon Lundell and another from Jonah Gadjovich, establishing a commanding 3-0 lead. A subsequent goal from Jones was disallowed due to goalie interference, but the Panthers continued to dominate the game.

What implications does the officiating incident have for future playoff games?What are the potential impacts of this incident on the Panthers' playoff journey?What are the statistical trends for teams that experience referee injuries during playoffs?What are the potential ramifications for player conduct following this incident?

Maple Leafs vs. Panthers Game 7: Updates on Knies, lineups

As the Toronto Maple Leafs prepare for a pivotal Game 7 against the Florida Panthers, all eyes are on goaltender Joseph Woll, who has showcased remarkable playoff performance. Woll enters the game with a stellar 1.13 goals-against average in elimination games, ranking him second in NHL history among goalies with five or more such starts. His recent shutout in Game 6 has only heightened expectations. Meanwhile, the Leafs' core players, including Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, are looking to overcome their collective Game 7 struggles; they are 0-5 since Matthews joined the team.

Adding to the drama, celebrity rapper Drake has placed a $1 million bet on the Leafs, further fueling the lore surrounding 'Drake's Curse' in sports betting. Past heartbreaks haunt fans, as the Leafs seek their first Game 7 victory since 2004. The charged atmosphere at Scotiabank Arena promises to be electric, with passionate fans hoping to finally see their team advance beyond the second round. Coach Craig Berube emphasizes the importance of home-ice advantage, citing their top-tier playoff seeding. Will Woll's historic form and the fans' unwavering belief be enough to break the cycle of disappointment?

Maple Leafs Reveal Big Injury Update on Anthony Stolarz Entering Game 7 - Athlon Sports

The Toronto Maple Leafs face a critical Game 7 in their playoff series against the Florida Panthers, following a valiant Game 6 win that kept their postseason hopes alive. However, they will continue without starting goalie Anthony Stolarz, who was injured in Game 1. Backup Joseph Woll has been inconsistent, performing well in Game 6 with a shutout but faltering in Game 5 by allowing five goals.

Woll's performance will be pivotal in Game 7 as the Maple Leafs look to advance to the Eastern Conference Final. His ability to limit the Panthers' scoring chances will be crucial. There's slim hope for Stolarz's return, as he did not participate in the morning skate, indicating that Woll will once again have to carry the load for the team.

What strategies can the Maple Leafs utilize to support Woll in goal?How can the Leafs adapt their game plan if Woll struggles early on?What are key historical playoff performances from the Maple Leafs?How does playoff experience affect a team's performance?
