The defenseman will be eligible to play Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Second Round against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday (7 p.m. ET; CBC, TVAS, SN, ESPN). He served the second of a two-game suspension Monday for his hit on Tampa Bay Lightning forward Brandon Hagel in Game 4 of the first round.

Both teams rolled through their first-round matchups — top-seeded Toronto advanced after dispatching the No. 4 Ottawa Senators in six games, while the third-seeded Panthers made quick work of the No. 2 Tampa Bay Lightning, winning the series 4-1.

The Toronto Maple Leafs took a 1-0 series lead over the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers on Monday, but the story of the game was an incident that happened in the second period. Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz left the game in the second period after taking an elbow to the head from Panthers forward Sam Bennett in the crease.
