Florida Panthers defenseman Seth Jones handled the puck under pressure from Toronto Maple Leafs forward Matthew Knies during the first period of Game 5 in their second-round Stanley Cup playoff series on May 14, 2025, in Toronto. Jones, wearing number 3, looked to move the puck up ice as Knies, number 23, closed in on the play.

The contest marked a pivotal moment in the best-of-seven series, with both teams seeking a 3-2 advantage. Jones's ability to transition from defence to offence has been a key component of the Panthers' blueline strategy throughout the postseason.
