SportsLine NHL analyst Scott Erskine gives his thoughts on who to back in Monday's Game 1 of the second-round series between Toronto and Florida

Stanley Cup Playoffs are through one round, with many of the best teams still left in the bracket. With the second round set to begin, it's time to look back on the simulation that NHL 25 did before the postseason started.

Best bets: The Maple Leafs had some demons to exorcise in Round 1, and while it was touch and go for a few moments, they got there in the end. The Panthers won the season series 3-1, but this series should be about as good as we've come to expect ... and the difference is going to come in the margins.
