After failing to sweep the New York Islanders in game four, a 3-2 overtime loss, the Hurricanes will try to advance again on Tuesday in game five with Andersen between the pipes. Andersen has been stellar between the pipes this postseason, allowing three or fewer goals in four contests while posting a solid .920 SV%. The Hurricanes enter action as sizeable -241 home favourites.

Andersen stopped 29 of 31 shots in the Hurricanes' Game 3 win over the Islanders. Andersen has been spectacular in the series, going 3-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .922 SV%. In the regular season and playoffs combined, Andersen is 16-2-0 with a 1.87 GAA and .930 SV% this season.

With Carolina in need of playoff reinforcements and Springfield (AHL) willing to send Ryan Suzuki back, the 22-year-old forward has been recalled to the Hurricanes. Suzuki is Carolina's 2019 1st round pick (28th overall) and had 14 goals and 30 points in 51 games with Springfield this season.

Andersen only had to stop nine shots (.750) as Carolina took a 2-0 series lead with a 4-3 victory over New York in Raleigh last time out. The 34-year-old will make his third consecutive start after rotating nearly every game he was healthy for this season and has a 2-0-0 record, 2.01 GAA, and .913 SV% in the playoffs. He will head to New York on Thursday, where the Islanders were 21-10-10 during the regular season, and will be looking to swing the series back in their favor.

Despite rotating starts between Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov since the former returned from injury in early March, the Hurricanes will turn back to Andersen for a second consecutive game on Monday.

Andersen allowed just a single goal on 34 shots as the Hurricanes sealed a 3-1 victory. They enter action tonight as -225 favourites over the Islanders in Game 2.

Carrier has not played since March 25th, missing the final 11 regular season games, but will draw back into the lineup for game one of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Carrier had eight points (6G / 2A) in 39 games this season and will likely skate on a line with Nicolas Roy and Keegan Kolesar.
