Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Max Pacioretty opened the second-round series against the Florida Panthers with a two-assist effort on Monday night, playing an important role in a 5-4 victory. The veteran forward registered both of his assists early in the game when William Nylander put Toronto up 2-0 with less than 13 minutes played in the first period. During a busy night, Pacioretty also tied Jake McCabe for the most hits on the team with four, finishing with a plus-three rating across 13:06 of ice time. After starting out the postseason as a healthy scratch, Pacioretty has worked his way to the second line, finding good chemistry with Nylander and John Tavares. He has bagged four points (one goal, three assists) over the past two games.

Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Max Pacioretty will join the second line for Thursday's Game 6 showdown against the Ottawa Senators. The veteran forward missed the start of the postseason as a healthy scratch and has been limited to a third-line role since entering the lineup. He has gone scoreless in three games with five shots, 16 hits, and a minus-two rating while averaging 12:33 of ice time. However, Pacioretty worked well with John Tavares and William Nylander during the regular season, and the Maple Leafs will reunite the trio as the team attempts to close out the first-round series for the third time.

Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Max Pacioretty is expected to enter the lineup on Thursday against the Ottawa Senators. He has sat out the first two games of the series as a healthy scratch. Pacioretty missed the end of the regular season due to an undisclosed injury. The Maple Leafs last had the veteran forward in the lineup on Feb. 8, so Pacioretty will likely have quite a bit of rust on him Thursday night. Pacioretty made 37 regular-season appearances, scoring five goals and 13 points. He is set to take on a third-line role, skating with Max Domi and Bobby McMann.
