The Toronto Maple Leafs are back home after a successful three-game road trip to host the Florida Panthers on Wednesday at Scotiabank Arena. Toronto won 3-2 in Anaheim on Sunday while Florida lost 3-2 in overtime on Tuesday in Montreal.

The Maple Leafs (45-25-4) picked up five of a possible six points during their California road trip (2-0-1) and maintained sole possession of first place in the Atlantic division. With 94 points, Toronto has a one-point lead over Tampa Bay and a two-point cushion on Florida.

Forward Max Pacioretty (undisclosed) and defenseman Jani Hakanpaa (knee) remain on LTIR. Nick Robertson was the extra forward during Tuesday's practice and is expected to be a healthy scratch for the third consecutive game.

Odds for Maple Leafs vs. Panthers and Toronto's upcoming schedule

Toronto is a slight favorite at home for Wednesday's crucial game against Florida.

According to OddsShark, the Maple Leafs are -125 home favorites while the Panthers (44-26-4) are +105 road underdogs. Should these betting lines not change before puck-drop, a $125 bet on the Leafs would win $110 and a $100 bet on the Cats would net $105.

Toronto will stay home after Wednesday's tilt and will welcome the Columbus Blue Jackets to town on Saturday. The Leafs will then be off for a few days before a trip to the Sunshine State for massive back-to-back games against the Panthers and Lightning on Tuesday and Wednesday next week.
