Hurricane fans are bracing for potentially devastating news ahead of Game 5 of the NHL playoffs. Carolina's goalie situation has taken a concerning turn as Frederik Andersen did not participate in practice alongside his teammates. Meanwhile, Pyotr Bussi, the team's young goaltender, took on starter duties in the crease. The decision not to have Andersen on the ice raises questions about his availability for the crucial matchup, and the team's willingness to trust Bussi with the starting role. With the series tied at 2-2, the Hurricanes can ill afford another loss, and the fate of their playoff hopes hangs precariously in the balance.
