are we winning yet?

[cookinbrak]

No, but NY is on a PP already.

[MillionDollarCam]

No change in forward lines or d pairs.

Raanta was in the starters crease and Freddie was in the backup crease, he might be on the bench tonight.

Good either we win or if Raanta gives up some weak goals Freddie gets some live action.

Good to see Freddie back. We are going to need him the next series because Raanta is going to need a break.

From Canes FB page:

 

NEW YORK, NY. - The Carolina Hurricanes will be sticking with their same lineup from their Game 5 victory, carrying it into tonight's potential series-closing contest at Madison Square Garden.

As far as tonight's game being on the road, and the Canes having an 0-6 record away from PNC Arena thus far this postseason, Rod Brind'Amour didn't see the need for that to be the reason for any changes to his crew.

"It's totally irrelevant going into this game. What's done is done," the head coach said. "We're starting here fresh and we want to win tonight."

Antti Raanta is expected to make his 12th start of the postseason, posting a .931 save percentage thus far against Boston and New York. Frederik Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov rotated at the other end of the ice, but Brind'Amour wouldn't commit one way or the other to the All-Star netminder backing up this evening.

Jordan Martinook will remain in in place of Steven Lorentz, an alteration that first occured for Thursday's Game 5.

Carolina's projected lineup for tonight's 8 p.m. puck drop is:

 

Forwards:

Teravainen - Aho - Jarvis

Svechnikov - Trocheck - Necas

Niederreiter - Staal - Fast

Martinook - Kotkaniemi - Domi

 

Defensemen:

Slavin - DeAngelo

Skjei - Pesce

Smith - Cole

 

Starting Goalie:

Raanta

 

Injuries:

Frederik Andersen

 

Scratches:

Ethan Bear

Steven Lorentz

Derek Stepan
