BOSTON, MA. -Rod Brind'Amour will turn back to Antti Raanta in net for Game Four in Boston Sunday, as the Carolina Hurricanes aim to reclaim their two-game lead in the series.

The head coach said that the only factor in the decision was Raanta's health and that he was good to go today. "The other day Raanta] wasn't feeling the best, so that was an easy decision," Brind'Amour said about going with Kochetkov for Game Three, but having the elder netminder today.
In regard to
Jordan Martinook, Brind'Amour said that the alternate captain is out and "not a next game type of thing either" after suffering a lower-body injury during Friday night's battle. This opens the door for Derek Stepan to draw in this afternoon.
The veteran forward finished the regular season with three points in his last three games.

Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis
Domi - Trocheck - Teravainen
