Hurricanes could make major lineup switch for Game 6

The Carolina Hurricanes were unable to close the deal against the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night, dropping a 3-2 decision that forced a Game 6 back in New York tonight. 

And while the Hurricanes have gotten a strong performance in net from goaltender Antti Raanta, it looks as though they could be making a change. Frederik Andersen, who has yet to make an appearance in the playoffs due to injury and an illness, could be getting the nod between the pipes, according to head coach Rod Brind'Amour. 

Raanta, who had a spectacular regular season record of 19-3-3 with a 2.23 goals against average and a .910 save percentage, has posted a 2.59 goals against average in the first five games of the postseason.

Meanwhile, Andersen amassed a 21-11-1 record with a 2.48 GAA and a .903 save percentage during the regular season. 

Game 6 between the Islanders and Hurricanes will get underway tonight from UBS Arena starting at 7:00 PM EST.
