In Game 5 of the NHL Conference Finals, the Florida Panthers may welcome back Sam Reinhart, who has missed two games due to injury. Reinhart suffered a lower body injury in Game 2 after a collision with Carolina's Sebastian Aho. His return to practice indicates progress, though he remains day-to-day, monitored closely by the team's coach, Paul Maurice. Reinhart's prior season performance has been stellar, with 39 regular-season goals and significant contributions in the playoffs, making his potential return crucial for the Panthers' playoff run against the Hurricanes.
"We'll see how they are tomorrow. It's what we expected and what we hoped for. We'll get them on the ice again tomorrow." - Paul Maurice, on Reinhart's status.
"His performances in the postseason were also on track to be one of the best from a player in an NHL playoff campaign over recent years, hitting 11 points in 14 appearances."
"Reinhart has undoubtedly been one of the stars of the season for the Panthers scoring 39 goals and accumulating 81 points in the regular season."
