James Reimer was unable to finish the Florida Panthers' final game of the regular season against the Boston Bruins on Sunday night, exiting with an apparent injury with eight minutes remaining in the third period.

Roberto Luongo came on in relief with the Panthers leading 3-2, in a game that would determine the Bruins' first-round playoff matchup.

Reimer went down late in a penalty kill while the Bruins were on a four-minute man advantage. He stayed in the game and play resumed, but then left at a subsequent stoppage.
