Projected Lineup: ECF Game 4 at FLA

SUNRISE, Fla. – The Carolina Hurricanes will flip again to Frederik Andersen for Recreation 4 as they attempt to maintain their season alive in opposition to the Florida Panthers.

After going with Pyotr Kochetkov on Saturday, Rod Brind’Amour is electing to return to the person who had been the most effective goalie within the Stanley Cup Playoffs by means of two rounds. Andersen entered the sequence with a postseason-leading 1.36 objectives in opposition to common and a .937 save share in 9 video games, however after Recreation 1 did not go his approach and the Canes have been so dangerous in Recreation 2 that “it wouldn’t have mattered who was in net,” Brind’Amour mentioned he wished to try to change the vibe for the third recreation of the sequence. Now, Andersen will get one other likelihood after a short reset.

“He’s been great for us all year,” Brind’Amour mentioned following morning skate. “He had a nice couple of days off, so it makes sense.”

In entrance of him, the staff is anticipated to be with out Jalen Chatfield and Sean Walker once more as a consequence of undisclosed accidents. Neither took half in morning skate, and yesterday Brind’Amour declared them “doubtful.” Which means Scott Morrow and Alexander Nikishin will possible each be within the lineup for a second consecutive evening.

In a Recreation 3 that did not have many positives for Carolina, Nikishin was considered one of them, trying rather more comfy in his second North American displaying.

“I was really proud of how, from one game to the next, the change was something to like. We’ve got a good one there. Morrow hung in there, too, so it’s good on those guys,” Brind’Amour mentioned.
