The Carolina Hurricanes have decided to shake up their lineup for Game 3 against the New York Rangers, with Pyotr Kochetkov set to start in goal instead of Frederik Andersen. The Hurricanes are trailing the series 2-0, and Coach Rod Brind’Amour made the switch in net after giving Andersen a break.
Andersen had played well in the first two games, allowing only eight goals on 62 shots. However, Brind’Amour believes that it is essential to give Andersen some rest to avoid burnout and keep him fresh for future games. This decision was made roughly seven hours before Game 3, with Andersen given the opportunity to recover.
Kochetkov is a 24-year-old rookie who has NHL experience and has not played since April. Brind’Amour expressed confidence in his abilities and fresh perspective as he prepares for his first playoff game. Kochetkov will bring energy and enthusiasm to the team, which could be crucial in turning things around against the Rangers.
In addition to the change in goal, Evgeny Kuznetsov will also return to the lineup after being scratched for Game 2. The Hurricanes hope that these lineup adjustments will spark a turnaround against the Rangers in Game 3. They are determined to come back stronger than ever and fight for victory on home ice.
