The Florida Panthers' Bill Zito has never won the NHL's GM of the year award. That has to change this year as they move closer to another Stanley Cup.

The Toronto Maple Leafs bounced back from a blowout loss to shut out the Florida Panthers and force a Game 7. Highlights from Game 6:

Niko Mikkola and A.J. Greer are also expected back for Florida while Jalen Chatfield and Sean Walker are not for Carolina.

Carter Verhaeghe’s goal keyed the Florida Panthers’ 5-3 win in Carolina Wednesday night for a 4-1 East-finals series win -- and a third straight trip to the Stanley Cup Finals.

The Panthers will be the first to tell you that the Hurricanes played an excellent Game 4. That doesn't mean they're worried, though.
