Canes look to extend lead in Round One series.
(First of all, apologies for the lateness of this preview. One of the crew had signed up for this and apparently something came up. I just got in so I will put up a brief article and we will start this off as the game discussion thread as well. I will start an additional one if needed.)
Reports on “X” say that Sorokin will be in net for the Islanders.
Jesper Fast and Brett Pesce are both out for Carolina. There has been no confirmation who will start in net.
We can assume that Tony DeAngelo will fill in for Pesce but there is no confirmation of that.
Newly signed Scott Morrow would be a surprise option. Dylan Coughlin has also been recalled and is eligible to play.
Will Andersen get the call again in net or will they allow Kochetkov to have a shot?
The last game was the first time that Andersen played in back-to-back games since he returned from his injury.
Game time is 7:30 and it will be on Bally Sports South as well as ESPN2.
