The Toronto Maple Leafs have a pulse. Auston Matthews has a pulse. There will be a Game 7 in Toronto after the visiting Maple Leafs beat the Florida Panthers, 2-0, in Game 6.

Auston Matthews' first goal of the second round sent the Toronto Maple Leafs back home for Game 7. Matthews scored six minutes into the third period to break a deadlock with the reigning Stanley Cup champion. Max Pacioretty provided the insurance goal for the Leafs eight minutes later.

Auston Matthews got his first goal of the series to break a scoreless tie in the third period, Joseph Woll stopped 22 shots, and the Toronto Maple Leafs kept their season alive by beating the Florida Panthers 2-0 in Game 6 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series Friday night.
