Florida Panthers forward Brad Marchand meets the media before his team plays the host Toronto Maple Leafs on Jan. 6, 2026.
This is Florida’s first game in Toronto since it won big in Game 7 of the 2025 Eastern Conference semifinals.
Florida is coming off a 2-1 win against the Avalanche — just the third regulation loss of the season for Colorado, which had won 10 straight and had a 13-game point streak (12-0-1).
The Panthers will continue to play without defenseman Seth Jones.
Sunday, Florida got goals from Sam Bennett and Aaron Ekblad in the win; Daniil Tarasov made 27 saves three weeks after losing 6-2 to the Avs in Denver.
Florida kicks off a six-game road trip Tuesday in Toronto.

I guess everyone in Florida is happy they didn't send Paul Maurice as Canada's head coach. He is by far the best selection. He wouldn't have made the unforgivable sin of bringing Cerelli and Stone over Bennet and Hyman.
