Paul Maurice Reveals Horrible News for Panthers Ahead of Crucial Game 3 vs. Maple Leafs

After playing two games in Toronto, the Florida Panthers face an 0-2 deficit as the series shifts back home, but unfortunately for the Panthers, things aren't going to get any easier.

Ahead of what is a must-win Game 3 on home ice, Head Coach Paul Maurice has revealed major health concerns about this team, noting that he has some game-time decisions to make ahead of Friday nights clash.

While he revealed that, the veteran Head Coach did not note which players are the ones dealing with the issues, at this time of year, there are very few players that are at 100% as they look to battle through the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The team may be down 2-0 to Toronto in this series, but thus far both games have been decided by one goal, so if the Panthers can see a bounce or two go their way, this series is still on as both teams look to push through to the Eastern Conference Finals against either the Washington Capitals or Carolina Hurricanes.

For now however, we wait and see what Maurice reveals ahead of the game, as the decisions could make or break this series for the defending Stanley Cup Champions, and given all of the injuries and the issues that have taken place this series, one more could change the direction of the post-season for either team.
