FORT LAUDERDALE — Florida’s Sam Reinhart will not be on the ice for Saturday’s Game 3 vs. Carolina after missing most of the Panthers’ Game 2 win with a lower-body injury, coach Paul Maurice said. “Sam won’t play tonight,” Maurice said Saturday morning. “We’ll list him as day-to-day.”

Reinhart suffered a lower-body injury during Game 2 at the 5:09 mark of the second period when Carolina's Sebastian Aho ran into him.

Heading into a crucial Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final, a change needed to be made by the Carolina Hurricanes. Down 2-0 to the Florida Panthers and allowing ten goals in those two losses, Carolina head coach Rod Brind’Amour decided to make a change in goal.

Sam Reinhart will not play for the Florida Panthers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals against Carolina on Saturday night because of a left knee injury, one that happened Thursday when he was skated into by the Hurricanes’ Sebastian Aho.

Two days after a Game 7 triumph in Toronto, the Florida Panthers square off with the Carolina Hurricanes in the NHL's Eastern Conference Final.

The Florida Panthers and Carolina Hurricanes meet in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Final in the Stanley Cup Playoffs Thursday in Raleigh.

This series has been all Florida through two games, and our Hurricanes vs. Panthers props expect more of the same in Game 3.
