Many important lineup changes made by Panthers for Game 3 against Toronto!

Earlier today, Florida Panthers head coach Paul Maurice had revealed that he had some game-time lineup decisions due to health for tonight’s Game 3 against the Toronto Maple Leafs in their second round series.

Fans were waiting to see who is missing from the Panthers’ lineup for the crucial contest and finallt when warmups began, we would tell who Florida is without for tonight’s action.

It appears that both Jesper Boqvist, Nico Sturm and Mackie Samoskevich are not available tonight while Tomas Nosek, A.J. Greer and Jonah Gadjovich were on the ice for the warmups. Basically, the entire fourth line has been changed! 

The Panthers have been mostly healthy in the playoffs despite being dealt multiple injuries down the last stretch of the regular season. Star forward Matthew Tkachuk finally returned to action in Game 1 of the first round against the Tampa Bay Lightning after an injury sustained before the 4 Nations Face-Off, which he is believed to have aggravated during the tournament. Sam Bennett also came back from injury for the playoff opener.

During the first round action against the Bolts, captain Aleksander Barkov left Game 2 with an injury but returned in time for Game 3.

Fans are wondering who could be missing from action for tonight’s crucial game in Florida and are likely to find out only at warmups.

Per morning skate rushes, the Maple Leafs appear set to roll out the exact same lineup as Game 2 with Joseph Woll starting in net, except that it will be Dennis Hildeby acting as backup and not Matt Murray like he did for Game 2.
