Toronto, which went 0-4-0 against Florida in the regular season, did manage to win the Atlantic Division and will now test drive its home-ice advantage. The Maple Leafs are 4-2 across a half-dozen home playoff games so far. Toronto, which has not outshot Florida since Game 1, won Game 6 despite putting just 17 shots on net.

The Carolina Hurricanes are through to the Eastern Conference Final, eliminating the Washington Capitals in five games and securing their second trip to the NHL’s final four in the last three seasons. Now, the Hurricanes wait for the outcome of Game 7 between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers to find out who their opponent will be.

Toronto picked up a shutout win on the road over the Florida Panthers to force Game 7 on Sunday night back in Ontario. Friday's win was a massive surprise after a poor Game 5 performance on home ice. Auston Matthews provided the game-winning goal for the Leafs in the third period after the first two frames went scoreless.
