Defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson, forward Steven Lorentz and goalie Anthony Stolarz were given their 2024 Stanley Cup Championship rings in a special private ceremony at the Florida Panthers practice facility Wednesday ahead of Toronto’s game against their former team at Amerant Bank Arena (7:30 p.m. ET; SCRIPPS, SNW, SNO, SN1).

During the game, the Panthers welcomed back defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson, forward Steven Lorentz and goaltender Anthony Stolarz with tribute videos commemorating their contributions to the team during its run to the Stanley Cup Championship at the end of last season.

The Florida Panthers defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-1 Wednesday night. This snaps a four-game losing streak for the Cats.

A difference in urgency was clear from the start as Toronto's four-game winning streak came to an end with a 5-1 loss to Florida.

Less than a minute after going up 2-0, Florida scored to cut the lead in half. It was Sam Reinhart who scored his league-leading (tied with Alexander Ovechkin) 15th of the season. After that, the Panthers kicked it into another gear.

Aleksander Barkov and Carter Verhaeghe had power-play goals, Sam Reinhart had a short-handed score and the Florida Panthers beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-1 on Wednesday night for only their second win in eight games.
