Panthers have some game-time lineup decisions due to health concerns!

The Panthers are getting ready to take on the Toronto Maple Leafs at home tonight in Florida for Game 3 of their second round series. Bad news however came on top of bad news on Friday as Toronto enters the contest with a 2-0 series lead, but also because Panthers head coach Paul Maurice revealed that he has some game-time lineup decisions due to health.

It is unclear who may or may not be available, per Luke Fox. 

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.

Game 3 between the Maple Leafs and Panthers is set for tonight at 7ETpm.
