The Maple Leafs host the Florida Panthers on Thursday (7 p.m., Sportsnet). Here are three things to know about the Panthers.
1. The Leafs lost 3-1 to the Panthers on the strength of a 28-save performance from netminder Scott Clemmensen in their last meeting on Dec. 17 at the Air Canada Centre. They meet again Feb. 4 and April 10. The Panthers are 1-1 on this current four-game road trip. Florida is coming off a 6-2 loss to the Bruins on Tuesday. The Panthers are ranked No. 28 in the 30-team league in offence.
2. Netminder Tim Thomas played his first game in Boston on Tuesday since he was a member of the Bruins in 2011-2012. Thomas finished with 35 saves on 41 shots. Thomas, who won the Conn Smythe Trophy in Boston’s Stanley Cup championship, signed with Florida as a free agent this off-season. Thomas is 14-15-3 with a 2.75 goals-against average and .912 save percentage.
3. The Panthers are without rookie centre Aleksander Barkov, who missed his third straight game on Tuesday with a minor knee injury. He is tied for the team lead in points (24) with forward Brad Boyes, who has scored in his last two games, and defenceman Tom Gilbert.
