The Toronto Maple Leafs earned what could be considered their biggest win of the season on Wednesday as they claimed a playoff spot. They defeated the Florida Panthers 3-2 and became the first team in the Atlantic Division to get a playoff berth.

Anthony Stolarz won a Cup with the Panthers last season. With the Leafs, he likes what he saw in a battle of Atlantic Division rivals.

But with all that said about Marner's offensive heroics, it was his defensive prowess in the final minutes while the Maple Leafs were holding a 3-2 lead that pleased his coach the most. At one point, the Toronto forward leapt in the air to bat down a puck, then dove to swat it out of the Toronto zone and relieve the pressure.
