Florida Panthers forward Sam Reinhart suffered a lower-body injury during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals, forcing him to exit the game early. The injury occurred in the first period when Reinhart was clipped by Carolina Hurricanes’ Sebastian Aho while making a pass near the neutral zone. Aho’s contact with Reinhart’s left leg caused him to fall and appear in pain as he made his way to the bench.
Despite the incident, no penalty was called on the play, and the Panthers announced that Reinhart would not return to the game. Currently, the Panthers hold a 3-1 lead over the Hurricanes after two periods, with goals from Sam Bennett, Matthew Tkachuk, and Gustav Forsling.
