Panthers Forward Sam Reinhart Exits Game 2 After Awkward Hit From Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho
- Florida Panthers forward Sam Reinhart left the second matchup of the conference finals after sustaining a lower-body injury following a hit from Carolina Hurricanes captain Sebastian Aho.
- The injury occurred late in the first period when Reinhart carried the puck into Carolina's zone and Aho delivered a hip check that caught Reinhart near his left knee.
- Reinhart skated back to the Panthers bench grimacing in pain, then headed to the locker room and did not return, with the team announcing he was out for the game.
- Reinhart has scored 39 regular-season goals and tallied 11 playoff points this year, making his loss a significant blow to Florida’s offense, though teammates stepped up in his absence.
- Florida secured a 5-0 win and looks to take a 3-0 lead in the series as Coach Paul Maurice announced that Sam Reinhart is set for further evaluation before the matchup returns to Florida.
