He improved to 5-0 against the Maple Leafs in Game 7, and he scored three points (1 goal, 2 assists) in the victory.
“When you have a group of veterans and someone who’s had a big moment before, everyone does their business,” Merchand said of a seamless fit with the Panthers. “It’s very easy to fall into place and do your part. It’s a special group.”
The Panthers, which improved their all-time record to 4-1 in Game 7, prepare to prepare for a rematch with the Carolina Hurricanes, who were previously defeated in four intensely fighting games in the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals.
But after drawing out another victory to remember, they can worry about it tomorrow.
“Every trip brings about different adversity,” Bobrovsky said. “Obviously we have a great group, an experienced guy, a hardworking guy, a big hard guard. It’s always fun to join this group. The guys have mature experience. We face another good challenge. Carolina is a great team.
