(Lon Horwedel-Imagn Images)The Carolina Hurricanes are going to be sticking with the same lineup that won them a decisive 4-1 victory in Game 1 against the New Jersey Devils for Game 2.
Canes coach Rod Brind'Amour confirmed pre-game that the team will not be changing the lineup including in goal, as Frederik Andersen prepares to start in consecutive games for the first time this season.
"I don't foresee any changes," Brind'Amour said.
That means that the Canes will again be sitting Mark Jankowski, Tyson Jost, Riley Stillman and Alexander Nikishin.
"It's a great situation for a team to have, to have the quality of guys that we had sit out, because we know we're going to need everybody if we keep pushing forward," Brind'Amour said following Game 1. "I guess you could say we made the right decisions, but I think we really couldn't have gone wrong."
