The Carolina Hurricanes are preparing for Game 4 against the Washington Capitals tonight, continuing to refine their forward lines following Saturday’s match. Coach Rod Brind’Amour has made significant adjustments, moving Seth Jarvis to play alongside Andrei Svechnikov and Sebastian Aho, a spot previously held by Jackson Blake.
Jack Roslovic has also solidified his place in the lineup for a third straight game; in Saturday’s game, he recorded a goal and an assist and excelled in faceoffs, going 9-for-10, filling in for Mark Jankowski, who is day-to-day due to an undisclosed injury.
In goal, Frederik Andersen aims to build on his impressive postseason performance, which includes a stellar goals-against average of 1.32 and a save percentage of .940.
Tonight’s betting odds favor the Hurricanes at -260 as they look to capitalize on their home advantage.
The projected forward lines for tonight include:
– Svechnikov – Aho – Jarvis
– Hall – Roslovic – Stankoven
– Martinook – Staal – Carrier
– Robinson – Kotkaniemi – Blake
On the defensive side, the anticipated pairings are:
– Slavin – Burns
– Orlov – Chatfield
– Gostisbehere – Walker
Injuries to note include Jesper Fast (neck, out for the season) and Mark Jankowski (day-to-day), with several players scratched from the game.
The team is poised for a strong performance tonight, and fans are hopeful for a victory that could propel them further in the playoffs. The adjustments made in the lineup may provide the necessary spark to overcome the Capitals once again.
