Panthers Rule Out Sam Reinhart For Four-Game West Coast Trip

Florida is holding its leading scorer out through the four-game trip due to multiple lingering issues.

Overview

  • Reinhart will miss at least the March 15–20 road swing, with March 24 at home versus Seattle identified as his earliest possible return.
  • Coach Paul Maurice said Reinhart is dealing with more than one issue and had been playing through injuries.
  • Reinhart leads Florida with 29 goals and 61 points in 64 games, underscoring the impact of his absence on the offense and power play.
  • Anton Lundell and Carter Verhaeghe are expected back Sunday after returning to practice, while Sam Bennett is day-to-day with his status uncertain.
  • Seth Jones is a possibility to return this week after 25 games out with an upper-body injury, and the Panthers sit 33-29-3, nine points off the final Eastern Conference wild-card spot.
