The Carolina Hurricanes are looking to bounce back from their loss in Game 1 against the Florida Panthers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Final. However, Jalen Chatfield’s status remains uncertain due to an undisclosed injury he sustained in Round 2. If Chatfield misses another game, Scott Morrow or Alexander Nikishin would likely take his place.
Behind the team, Mark Jankowski is a “good option” for the Hurricanes after recovering from his own injury, which has kept him out of the last five games. Goaltender Frederik Andersen is expected to start again, despite allowing more than two goals in regulation time for the first time this postseason in Game 1.
The Hurricanes’ projected lineup includes familiar faces like Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov on offense, while Jamie Slavin and Brent Burns lead the defense. The team’s power play units are also set: PP1 features a strong lineup of Aho, Blake, Jarvis, and Svechnikov with Gostisbehere, while PP2 includes Hall, Kotkaniemi, Roslovic, and Stankoven with Burns.
