Carolina Hurricanes

Frederik Andersen is day to day with an undisclosed injury, and the goalie was scratched for a 3-2 win against the Seattle Kraken on Sunday.
"'Freddy' didn't feel 100 percent, nothing too serious," coach Rod Brind'Amour said before the game. "He was out practicing today (at the morning skate), probably day to day there with Freddy."
Andersen's 29 wins are second in the NHL behind Andrei Vasilevskiy of the Tampa Bay Lightning (30). Andersen made 29 saves in a 4-0 loss to the Washington Capitals on Thursday after winning his previous four starts.
Antti Raanta
started against the Kraken and made 28 saves. Goalie Alex Lyon was recalled from Chicago of the American Hockey League on an emergency basis Saturday when the Hurricanes placed defenseman Tony DeAngelo (upper body) on injured reserve.

Zuccarello was a late scratch with an upper-body injury in a 5-4 loss at the Buffalo Sabres on Friday. Evason said Friday the injury isn't serious and the forward should be able to play Sunday.

The 27-year-old forward could have been an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season.
