Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Tending twine in Game 1
Andersen will protect the home goal versus Ottawa in Game 1 on Saturday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
The Hurricanes are going with Andersen's veteran presence in goal, rather than rookie Brandon Bussi, who saw the majority of the action during the regular season. Andersen was 16-14-5 with a 3.05 GAA and a poor .874 save percentage over 35 appearances in 2025-26. Andersen gave up five goals on 30 shots in his lone appearances versus the Senators, a 6-3 loss April 5.

Hurricanes' Mark Jankowski: Deposits game-winner
Jankowski scored a goal and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Islanders.
Jankowski has three goals over his last three games. The 31-year-old played a larger role while the Hurricanes rotated some players out of the lineup over the last week of the season. Expect Jankowski to be a regular on the fourth line in the playoffs, though Jesperi Kotkaniemi could come in if Jankowski struggles. Over 68 appearances this season, Jankowski produced 21 points -- the most he has had since his 32-point year with the Flames in 2018-19. He also added 63 shots on net, 45 hits, 45 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating across 68 appearances.

Hurricanes' Nikolaj Ehlers: Tallies early in win
Ehlers scored a goal on five shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Islanders.
While several of the Hurricanes' big-name players were held out of some games recently, Ehlers remained a fixture in the lineup. He ended up playing in all 82 regular-season contests for the second time in three years and the fourth time in his 11-year career. He was the only Hurricane to play in every game this campaign. The 30-year-old winger also finished with a career-high 71 points (26 goals, 45 assists) while adding 207 shots on net and a plus-8 rating. Ehlers should be a regular in the middle six during the postseason, but he'll also be a major part of the power play.

Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Sharp in Tuesday's finale
Bussi stopped 28 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Islanders.
Pyotr Kochetkov was supposed to start the regular-season finale and even took part in warmups. However, he was ineligible to play due to what the team described as a "roster technicality." As a result, Bussi was in action for a second straight night and played well. He wraps up his first NHL campaign with a 31-6-2 record, a 2.47 GAA and an .894 save percentage. The 27-year-old netminder went 6-0-1 over his final seven starts with a 2.53 GAA and .887 save percentage. It's not yet clear which goalie will get the nod between the pipes when Carolina begins its postseason run.
