Florida Panthers forward Evan Rodrigues is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury and won't play in Wednesday's Game 5 versus the Toronto Maple Leafs, head coach Paul Maurice confirmed, according to TSN's Chris Johnston.

Rodrigues exited Game 4 and didn't return after a hit by Leafs defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson in the third period. Officials initially assessed Ekman-Larsson a major for interference but reduced it to a minor penalty after review.

Rodrigues tallied 15 goals and 32 points in 82 regular-season games this season and has three assists through nine playoff contests.

Jesper Boqvist will draw into the Panthers' lineup.

The series is tied 2-2, with the home team winning each game.
