Canes look to wrap up series tonight
The Carolina Hurricanes will once again take on the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night at the Lenovo Center. Game time is at 7:30 P.M.
The game will be televised locally by the FanDuel Sports Network.
The Hurricanes lead this series 3-1 and could close things out with a win tonight.
Andrei Svechnikov (4G 1A) and Sebastian Aho (1G 4A) are leading the way for the home team.
On the other side, Shayne Gostisbehere, (1G 1A) Jaccob Slavin,(1G 1A) and Brent Burns (1G 1A) have two points each to lead the blueline.
Currently, the Carolina goaltending duo has compiled among the best stats in the postseason. Pyotr Kochetkov has a .933 save percentage while Fred Andersen is sporting a 3-1, record with a .936 save percentage.
I would look for Kochetkov to start tonight, but if Andersen is cleared to play after leaving Sunday’s game with an injury, there is a chance he might play. Nothing official has been announced up to the posting of this article.
Coach Rod Brind’Amour mixed up his lines a bit prior to the last game. Will he keep the lines the same, or mix them some more?
Svechnikov – Aho – Blake
Jarvis – Kotkaniemi – Hall
Martinook – Staal – Carrier
Stankoven – Jankowski – Robinson
Will Jankowski stay in or will Roslovic draw back in?
The Devils are led by Nico Hischier, (3G 0A), Jesper Bratt, (1G 2A), and Timo Meier, (1G 2A).
Jacob Markstrom has a save percentage of .913.
