Panthers forward Sam Bennett leaves Game 2 win with injury

SUNRISE, Fla. -- Florida Panthers forward Sam Bennett left early in the second period of his team's 3-2 overtime win over the Tampa Bay Lightning Tuesday night with an upper-body injury.

When Bennett, who scored in Game 2 as the Panthers took a 2-0 lead in this Eastern Conference quarterfinal series, exited the ice, he appeared to be holding his wrist. He went directly toward the Panthers' locker room as soon as he skated off the ice.

Florida coach Paul Maurice did not have an update in his postgame media availability, other than to say "we'll take a look at him (Wednesday) and we'll have an update.
