Mikko Rantanen has shown exactly why Dallas was willing to pay a hefty price to acquire him. Logan Stankoven has fit in perfectly going from the Stars to Carolina, with Taylor Hall and Mark Jankowski also playing well.

The night got underway with the Maple Leafs outlasting the Panthers, 4-3, behind two-point performances from Max Pacioretty, Max Domi and Morgan Rielly. Pacioretty continued his spectacular level of play with a goal and an assist to pace the Maple Leafs, who take 2-0 series lead to South Florida.

"Mikko Rantanen became the first player in nearly 40 years with a hat trick in consecutive playoff games and third in NHL history, following Jari Kurri (Game 5-6 of 1985 CF) and Doug Bentley (Game 4-5 of 1944 SF)," the NHL noted.
