With the Atlantic Division on the line, the Toronto Maple Leafs are taking on the Florida Panthers tonight and the game just got a lot more difficult.Last week, the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Florida Panthers by a score of 3-2 in a game that was very close until the very end.During that game, the Leafs ultimately caught a break as the Panthers were missing numerous players, including their captain, Aleksander Barkov.

Toronto Maple Leafs look to win Atlantic Division

Today, the Maple Leafs had their worst nightmares realized as it was revealed that Aleksander Barkov, Gustav Forsling, and even Sam Reinhart would be in the lineup tonight.

This is not the best news for the Maple Leafs, who now have to play a lineup that is much better than last week’s. The only thing making this better is the absence of Sam Reinhart.

Aleksander Barkov, Gustav Forsling and Sam Reinhart return to Panthers lineup tonight vs. Leafs.

Sam Bennett (upper body) remains out. He’ll play Game 1.

Ultimately, the Toronto Maple Leafs have the roster to win regardless, but it is going to be a tough matchup and we cannot wait to see how the team responds.

This is one of the best Leafs rosters we have seen since the Auston Matthews era and they have a real opportunity to go deep in the postseason.

A win tonight in regulation will ensure this team gets home ice in the first round, something that is certainly very valuable.

Whether or not the Leafs pull it off, still remains to be seen. If you are a Leafs fan, you cannot help but be a little nervous.
