SUNRISE, Fla. — The Florida Panthers expect to have defenseman Radko Gudas in the lineup for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final after he was injured during their Game 2 loss in Las Vegas.

Panthers coach Paul Maurice also confirmed Wednesday that goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky will be his starter for Thursday's game after he was pulled in Game 2.

The Panthers trail the Golden Knights 2-0. Gudas was injured on a hit by Golden Knights forward Ivan Barbashev with 13:23 left in the first period Monday night.

The rugged Panthers defenseman left and did not return. Gudas has three assists in 18 games for Florida while averaging 17:02 minutes, but his physicality has been a difference-maker on the back end. «He's a huge, huge part of our team.
