Carolina Hurricanes, 1-1 series on Saturday Raleigh, NC, while the Washington Capitals, the second round of Stanley Cup Playoff opponents against a very important Game 3 returns home
According to Champsorchumps.com, the third match of the seven best series connected the team 1-1 to 1-1. It is connected thanks to Washington, who won a 3-1 home win on Thursday.
Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’amour can make a decision before the match on Saturday. Center Mark Jankowski kidnapped the second game due to an unexplained injury that he was exposed to during Tuesday’s series opener. Jack Roslovic replaced Jankowski on Thursday, and Roslovic was the third best scorer of the team with 22 goals in the normal season, while the 28 -year -old helped in four playoffs this season.
Roslovic scored a goal in the normal season final of Hurricanes in Ottawa on April 17, but before that, he had 15 games without one.
Jankowski trained on Friday and said he would know that he could not play 30 -year -old player from Nashville on Saturday. However, Roslovic may provide Carolina a threat of another score in a series where goals are difficult to come with. Hurricanes have only three goals in the net 61 shots in the first two games.
Roslovic has eight points (two goals, six assists) in 18 career regular season matches against Washington. Last season, as a member of New York Rangers, scored two goals and added two assists against the capitals in the playoffs.
“When he gets this chance to his stick, can he put it on the network? Rosie is probably one of our better players.” He said.
Washington broke the best record at the Eastern Conference to win home ice in this series, but coach Spencer Carbery said that the team embraced the “Underdog mentality”, because many of the capitals did not expect the capital to be in this situation at the beginning of the season. Journalists said on Friday, the defender John Carlson, who threw the game winner on Thursday, was the best example of this.
The 35 -year -old senior defender is eight with the game after seven seasons. He blocked three shots against Carolina and scored five strokes so far.
“I think he continues to prove what he’s doing at this stage in his career and proves that he’s a distinguished defender in this league.”
On Thursday, the first win against Carolina in the normal season or season, the goalkeeper Logan Thompson will start again on Saturday. Backup Netminder Charlie Lindgren will return after missing the match on Thursday due to a family issue.
The capitals faced this situation last three years ago. They won the third game in the first round against Florida Panthers. However, the Panthers won the next three matches, two of whom required overtime to get the series. When Washington won a series after 1-1 connecting, the 2018 Stanley Cup final defeated Vegas Golden Knights in five games.
Carolina lastly played Game 3 in a series of Boston Bruins in 2020. Boston demanded the first round series in five games. In 2009, Hurricanes won a series that was connected for the last time after two games, when they beat Bruins in the 3rd game of the Conference Semi -Final series and after seven games.
