Perhaps the best words that Florida Panthers coach Paul Maurice has ever heard in the situation he and his team now find themselves in -- a must-win game, though not in that case, a Game 7 -- came all the way back,

The Leafs played like a team with their season on the line in Game 6. Now they have to commit to doing it all over again to win Game 7.

Auston Matthews scored his first goal of the series, lifting the Maple Leafs past the Panthers and forcing Game 7 on Sunday in Toronto.

The Boston Celtics will look to keep their season alive again Friday night, when they visit the New York Knicks for Game 6 of their second-round NBA playoff series at Madison Square Garden.

Oddsmakers expect a tight Game 6 between the Knicks and Celtics at Madison Square Garden tonight. NY leads 3-2 and is looking to avoid a Game 7 in Boston.

Let the party begin on 7th Avenue. The New York Knicks, for the first time in 25 years, are headed to the Eastern Conference Finals. They blew out the defending champion Boston Celtics 119-81 in Game 6 at Madison Square Garden on Friday to close out their second-round series and extend what has been their most successful season since the 1999-2000 campaign.
