Florida will host the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final on Monday night at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise.
While the Panthers have won the first three games of the series in convincing fashion, they will have a bit of a different look as they try to complete the sweep of the Hurricanes.
Sam Reinhart, who missed Game 3 with a lower-body injury, remains out of the lineup and will again be replaced by Jesper Boqvist on Florida’s top line.
Joining Reinhart with day-to-day designations are forward A.J. Greer and defenseman Niko Mikkola.
Both Greer and Mikkola left Game 3 early due to injuries.
Slotting into the lineup will be forward Nico Sturm, taking Greer’s spot on the fourth line, and defenseman Uvis Balinskis, who likely will skate with Nate Schmidt on the Panthers third defensive pairing.
Faceoff is set for 8 p.m.
