Jankowski expected to be sidelined for a second straight contest
RALEIGH, N.C. – The Carolina Hurricanes will likely be without forward Mark Jankowski (undisclosed injury) again on Saturday as they take on the Washington Capitals in Game 3.
Rod Brind’Amour said at this morning’s media availability that the trade deadline acquisition skated to start the day, but is considered doubtful for this evening. Jack Roslovic is expected to fill that spot for a second consecutive game, after skating 14:40 and going 6-for-10 in the faceoff dot.
Behind the cast of skaters, it is anticipated that Frederik Andersen will be in line for a third straight start. The veteran has allowed just three total goals across the first two games of the series, and ranks first among all qualified netminders in goals against average (1.55), and second in save percentage (.930).
