Craig Berube is weighing his tactical options for the Maple Leafs as they prepare for Game 5 against the Panthers in the playoffs. With the series tied at 2-2, Berube hints that changes may involve David Kampf and/or Nick Robertson in the bottom-6. Oliver Ekman-Larsson will return after missing practice due to illness. The Panthers will miss Evan Rodrigues due to a hit from Ekman-Larsson, with Jesper Boqvist stepping into the lineup. The Maple Leafs started strong, winning the first two games, but the Panthers fought back to win the last two.

Toronto's depth scoring has been a concern, with several forwards struggling to contribute offensively in the playoffs. Coach Berube emphasizes the need for the bottom-6 to drive the pace and energy of the game. The upcoming games are crucial, as a Game 6 will take place in Florida and a possible Game 7 back in Toronto.
