The Hurricanes introduce a new goalie to the series. The Islanders try to keep it going, needing what would be their second home win of the series in Game 6.
The Hurricanes are creating a wrinkle by introducing Freddy Andersen in net. He wasn’t available earlier in the series due to illness, but the Canes like to keep two, no three, goalies alive, and Andersen is theoretically their #1.
Same lines for the Hurricanes. Andersen in net is the only change.MacEachern-Aho-JarvisMartinook-KK-NecasNoesen-Staal-FastStepan-Stastny-PuljujarviSlavin-BurnsSkjei-PesceGostisbehere-ChatfieldAndersenRaanta— Luke DeCock (@LukeDeCock) April 28, 2023
After separating Bo Horvat and Mathew Barzal in Carolina in Game 5 to disrupt matchups, with the home change they’ll reunite two with each other and Anders Lee. At least to start.
