Florida Panthers forward Evan Rodrigues will be out for Game 6 against the Toronto Maple Leafs, as reported by Sportsnet's Anna Dua.
Rodrigues, 31, left the Panthers' Game 4 matchup against the Maple Leafs during the third period after being hit by former teammate Oliver Ekman-Larsson. Following this, he missed Game 5 for the Panthers, and now it has been confirmed that he will be sidelined for Game 6 as well.
Rodrigues has three assists, six penalty minutes, 16 shots, and a minus-2 rating in nine playoff games this year for the Panthers. This is after he recorded 15 goals, 32 points, and a minus-4 rating in 82 regular-season games this year for Florida.
With Rodrigues remaining out of the lineup, the Panthers will be going with the same lineup they had in their impressive 6-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 6. It will be interesting to see if the Panthers can stay hot without Rodrigues in the lineup and knock out the Leafs with a win from here.
