Nick Cousins scored at 15:32 of overtime and Sergei Bobrovsky made 50 saves as the Florida Panthers beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 in Game 5 of their second-round playoff series on Friday to advance to the Eastern Conference final.

Aaron Ekblad and Carter Verhaeghe each had a goal and an assist to help the Panthers build a 2-0 lead in the first period.

Morgan Rielly and William Nylander scored for the Maple Leafs, who had advanced in the playoffs for the first time in 19 years when they beat Tampa Bay in the first round. Rookie goalie Joseph Woll had 41 saves in his first home playoff start.

In the extra period, Cousins buried his second goal of the playoffs off the rush short-side on Woll to send the Panthers to the conference finals for the first time since 1996.

Florida — the team with the fewest points to qualify for the postseason — won all three games in Toronto and improved to 6-1 on the road in the playoffs after upsetting the record-setting Boston Bruins. The Panthers will next face the Carolina Hurricanes, who also beat the New Jersey Devils in five games.

Woll was coming off a 24-save effort in a Game 4 win that avoided the sweep.

STARS INCH CLOSER TO WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS WITH GAME 5 WIN OVER KRAKEN

The Maple Leafs now face an uncertain offseason despite its breakthrough against the Lightning. General manager Kyle Dubas doesn’t have a contract beyond June 30, while there have also been rumblings about the future of coach Sheldon Keefe. Nylander and Auston Matthews both have one year remaining on their contracts and can sign extensions as of July 1, while fellow star forward Mitch Marner’s no-movement clause kicks in the same day.

Toronto’s high-powered offense — including the so-called "Core Four" of Matthews, Nylander, Marner and John Tavares — scoring just three times in the series for a team that totaled just 14 goals over its final seven playoff games, including a paltry 10 against the Panthers.

The Leafs finished the post-season 1-5 at home.

Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible" co-star, Vanessa Kirby, is sharing details about the actor filming his own stunts.

Kirby, who stars as White Widow in "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One," recalled witnessing Cruise parachute off a motorcycle while going off a cliff in Iceland with "no fear."

"He did it many times in one day," Kirby told Variety. "He did it consecutively … and repeatedly so he could capture all the different angles and sides of it."

If Cruise ever gets nervous, he sure doesn't show it.

"He was just so calm," the actress recalled. "He had no fear. He just found it exhilarating. That kind of belief in cinema and what one could achieve and his passion for it is so inspiring. He kind of believes he can do the impossible and then he does. … I love being a part of the franchise. I’m really excited to come back."

In December, Cruise shared a clip of him performing the "greatest stunt in cinema history."

"This is far and away the most dangerous thing we've ever attempted," Cruise said at the beginning of the clip. "We're going to shoot it in Norway, and it will be a motorcycle jump off a cliff into a base jump."

The camera panned a massive ramp that ended on the edge of a huge cliff as Cruise said, "I've wanted to do it since I was a little kid.

"And it all comes down to one thing — the audience."

Writer-director Christopher McQuarrie explained that Cruise put together a master plan and assembled a team of experts from all the disciplines involved to accomplish the feat.

Wade Eastwood, the second unit director and stunt coordinator, detailed the extensive preparation that Cruise and the team undertook, which included "a year of base training, advanced sky-dive training, a lot of canopy skills, a lot of tracking."

The video revealed that Cruise performed the stunt six times that day. 

"This is far and away the most dangerous stunt we have ever attempted," McQuarrie said. "The only thing that scares me more is what we have planned for 'Mission 8.'"

The seventh installment in the "Mission: Impossible" franchise debuts in theaters July 14.
