Aleksander Barkov will be in the lineup for the Florida Panthers as they look to take a 3-0 series lead against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Florida will also get Aaron Ekblad back for Game 3 after the defenceman was forced to sit out the first two games of the series.

Head coach Paul Maurice told reporters that Barkov was feeling good and needed to skate in warmups to see how he feels before deciding if he will be in the lineup.

The Panthers captain was forced to leave Game 2 after being on the receiving end of a hit by forward Brandon Hagel that led to the Lightning forward receiving a five-minute interference major.
