SUNRISE, Fla. – The Florida Panthers will be without Sam Reinhart when they host the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final at Amerant Bank Arena on Saturday. Dealing with a lower-body injury, the star forward is considered day-to-day.

NBA conference finals have tipped off, with four teams fighting for a spot in the Finals. The No. 1 seed Oklahoma City Thunder, after a tough seven-game series against the Denver Nuggets, kicked off the Western Conference finals Tuesday night.

This might not be the conference finals matchup that many expected, but that just makes things all the more interesting.
