PITTSBURGH, PA. -The Carolina Hurricanes will be sticking with what's worked today, going with the same skaters that earned them a victory less than 24 hours ago.
This means another day of rest and recovery for Seth Jarvis, who was revealed to be dealing with a hip issue on Saturday. The injury allowed Derek Stepan to come into the lineup, where he'd record his 500th career point in his 800th NHL game. While Rod Brind'Amour did not commit to a goalie pre-game, common logic would indicate that today will be Antti Raanta's turn after Frederik Andersen played yesterday. The Finn enters today having won his last three outings, most recently a 36-save shutout over the powerhouse Colorado Avalanche on Thursday. 4-0-1 in his last five outings, Raanta stepped up big when the team was without Andersen due to an upper-body injury for a few games. Now 10-3-2 on the season, the netminder made 31 and 24 stops in his two wins over the Pens in the last 21 days. The projected lineup for today's 1:25 p.m. start is: Forwards: Teravainen - Aho - Necas Svechnikov - Trocheck - Martinook Niederreiter - Staal - Fast Lorentz - Kotkaniemi - Stepan Defensemen: Slavin - Bear Skjei - Pesce Cole - Chatfield Starting Goalie: Raanta Injuries: Tony DeAngelo Seth Jarvis Brendan Smith Note: Lineup subject to change prior to opening faceoff Worth A Click: Preview: Canes at Penguins CanesCast Episode 204: Chemistry Lesson Hurricanes March Schedule
