Florida Panthers forward Sam Reinhart has been ruled out for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals on Monday night against the visiting Carolina Hurricanes.
Coach Paul Maurice confirmed Monday morning that Reinhart (lower-body injury) will not suit up as Florida looks to close out the best-of-seven series in Sunrise, Fla.
Defenseman Niko Mikkola and forward A.J. Greer will also sit out Game 4, with Maurice characterizing all three players as day-to-day.
Reinhart, 29, did not play in Saturday’s 6-2 victory in Game 3. He has not scored in the series against Carolina and has 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in 14 games this postseason.
Reinhart recorded 81 points (39 goals, 42 assists) in 79 games during the regular season.
Game 5, if necessary, will be Wednesday night in Raleigh, N.C.
