The defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers have a 2-0 series lead over the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Final after a 5-0 road win in Game 2, and their advanced stats support their commanding advantage so far.

As one Hurricanes regular at forward sits out Game 2., Carolina will try to even its series against Florida and end a 13-game Eastern Conference Final losing streak.

Florida forward Sam Reinhart left the Panthers' Eastern Conference final game against the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night with a lower-body injury and won't return.
