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.

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.

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.
