The Florida Panthers took a 3–0 series lead over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night, despite the absence of Sam Reinhart,who missed the game while dealing with an injury sustained in Thursday's Game 2.
Reinhart's injury was caused by Hurricanes forward Sebastian Aho, who caught him on the knee while delivering a hit in the first period. That incident was not forgotten by the Panthers, who sought retribution against Aho after he took out one of their most important players.
