After splitting the first two games of their first-round series with the Atlantic Division-winning Hershey Bears, the Portland Pirates will need to find a way to win twice at Giant Center to advance to the next round.
The parent Florida Panthers are doing their best to make that happen, returning forwards Logan Shaw and Greg McKegg and defenseman Mike Matheson to the Pirates.
Shaw played in the final three games of the Cats playoff loss to the New York Islanders and registered 9 shots on goal and -2 rating.
