Hintz (lower-body) is a game-time decision for Game 3 on Sunday vs. Edmonton.

Hintz left Game 2 with a lower-body injury after taking a slash from Darnell Nurse, but was seen walking into the arena without a walking boot and is still a game-time decision. The 28-year-old center has five goals and 11 points in 15 games so far in the playoffs.

Reinhart (lower-body) is day-to-day but has not been ruled out for Game 4 on Monday.

Reinhart missed Florida's Game 3 win with a lower-body injury but is only considered day-to-day going forward and has not been ruled out for Game 4 on Monday. The 29-year-old has been replaced by Jesper Boqvist in Florida's top six for the time being but will be welcomed back with open arms if he can go on Monday. After putting up 81 points in 79 games played during the regular season, he has four goals and 11 points in 14 games so far in the playoffs.

Reinhart (lower-body) will not play in Game 3 vs. Carolina.

Reinhart played just 5:37 in Game 2 before leaving with a lower-body injury. Reinhart was hurt on a hit from Sebastian Aho and is considered day-to-day. Jesper Boqvist will replace him on the top line and Evan Rodrigues is expected to replace him on PP1 for Game 3.

Walker (undisclosed) is questionable to play in Game 3 on Saturday.

Walker was hurt in Game 2 and was limited to just 9:52 TOI. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour called Walker "iffy" to play in Game 3, so there's a chance Alexander Nikishin gets back in the lineup after being a healthy scratch in Games 1 and 2 vs. the Panthers.

Reinhart left Game 2 vs. Carolina with a lower-body injury and will not return.

Reinhart was forced to leave Game 2 vs. Carolina after just eight shifts and 5:37 TOI due to a lower-body injury and was not able to return. If the 29-year-old is forced to miss some time, it will be a massive loss for Florida, as the top-line forward had four goals and 11 points in 14 games played so far in the playoffs before the injury.

Ekholm (undisclosed) will not play in Game 2.

Ekholm last played on April 11th due to an undisclosed injury, but has been a full participant at practice the previous several days as he nears a return. The 34-year-old has been a massive loss for Edmonton's blueline after he posted nine goals, 33 points and a +11 plus/minus in 65 games during the regular season.

Chatfield (lower-body) skated on Wednesday and is considered day-to-day ahead of Game 2.

Chatfield has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury, but skated on Wednesday and head coach Rod Brind'Amour said that "he was better. I'd put him at day-to-day now, so that's a good sign." Expect Chatfield to replace Scott Morrow in the lineup if he's able to play in Game 2.

Jalen Chatfield
Chatfield (lower-body) is questionable to play in Game 1 vs. the Panthers.

Chatfield has been dealing with a lower-body injury since Game 4 vs. the Capitals and is questionable to play in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. He was not on the ice for Monday's practice, and Scott Morrow skated in his spot, so look for Morrow to dress if Chatfield is unavailable.

Ekholm (undisclosed) was a full participant in Monday's practice.

Ekholm last played on April 11th due to an undisclosed injury, but was a full participant for the first time since his injury at practice on Monday. The 34-year-old has been a massive loss for Edmonton's blueline after he posted nine goals, 33 points and a +11 plus/minus in 65 games during the regular season.

Rodrigues (undisclosed) will draw back into Florida's lineup for Game 7 in Toronto on Sunday.

Rodrigues had missed Florida's previous two games with an undisclosed injury but was a full participant in the morning skate on Sunday and will play in Game 7 vs. Toronto. The 31-year-old sparkplug has struggled to produce offensively this postseason, with just three assists and a -2 plus/minus in nine games while mostly occupying a top-six role.

Evan Rodrigues
Stolarz (concussion) will back up for Game 7 vs. Florida on Sunday.

Stolarz left Game 1 with a concussion but will make an unexpected return to the Maple Leafs' lineup he backs up Joseph Woll for Game 7 vs Florida. The towering netminder has an impressive 2.19 GAA during the playoffs to go alongside his 4-2-0 record and .901 SV%.

Anthony Stolarz
Knies (undisclosed) was a full participant in morning skate and will play in Game 7 vs. Florida on Sunday.

Knies was forced to play only 13:01 TOI in Game 6 due to an undisclosed injury, but was a full participant in Toronto's morning skate Sunday and will play in Game 7, according to Head Coach Craig Berube. The 22-year-old has been one of Toronto's best players this postseason with his five goals, seven points and 29 SOG in 12 playoff games so far.
