FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A.J. Greer is the only player who is questionable for the Florida Panthers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place in Edmonton on Wednesday (8 p.m. ET; CBC, TVAS, SN, TNT, truTV, MAX).
The forward missed Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Carolina Hurricanes because of an undisclosed injury, then returned but played 4:22 in Game 5 on May 28.
It is unclear if Greer, who is day to day, is dealing with the same injury or if he sustained a secondary one in Game 5.
“He’s still day to day, so that hasn’t changed,” Florida coach Paul Maurice said on Monday
Greer has three points (two goals, one assist) in 12 Stanley Cup Playoff games after he had 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) in 81 regular-season games.
With Green unavailable for practice Monday, Jesper Boqvist skated with Tomas Nosek and Jonah Gadjovich. Boqvist has five points (two goals, three assists) in 11 games this postseason.
Eetu Luostarinen, who left Game 5 after the first period, is practicing and expected to play Wednesday. The forward was cross-checked by Hurricanes forward William Carrier in the first period of Game 5, then missed a hit on forward Mark Jankowski and went hard into the boards and stumbled getting up. He played only 3:37.
“He’s out there today, he’s ready to go,” Maurice said.
Luostarinen has 13 points (four goals, nine assists) and is plus-11 in 17 games this postseason.
