With the Maple Leafs coming to town, there will also be three familiar faces in the building as Steven Lorentz, Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Anthony Stolarz take the ice at Amerant Bank Arena for the first time since helping the Panthers capture the Stanley Cup back in June.

Between the Leafs’ surge and Florida’s funk, the Cats were leapfrogged by Toronto in the standings. Entering play Wednesday, the Maple Leafs hold a three point edge on the Panthers with a game in hand.

Aleksander Barkov and Carter Verhaeghe had power-play goals, Sam Reinhart had a short-handed score and the Florida Panthers beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-1 for only their second win in eight games.
