The Carolina Hurricanes got terrible news heading into Game 3 of their first round series against the New York Islanders. They found out that forward Teuvo Teravainen will be out for the remainder of the team’s series against the New York Islanders, maybe longer, with a fractured hand. Teravainen was the last man standing of the trio with Max Pacioretty and Andrei Svechnikov, both of whom are on injured reserve with season-ending lower-body injuries. This prompted the Canes to recall six players ahead of Game 3.
Now in warmups, minutes before puck drop in New York, forward Jesse Puljujarvi was on the ice and Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman believes he will be in the Hurricanes’ lineup, making his playoff debut with the club.
Puljujarvi was a healthy scratch in Carolina’s first two playoff games. He had only two assists in 17 games with the Hurricanes after his trade from the Edmonton Oilers on Feb. 28.
At the same thing, the Islanders might be able to count on defenseman Alexander Romanov, who has not played since April 1, as he took part in warmups after the Islanders called him a game time decision on Friday.
