Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Tony DeAngelo will slide into the lineup in the stead of injured blue-liner Brett Pesce (lower body) for Thursday's Game 3 of the team's first-round playoff series against the New York Islanders. Pesce sustained a lower-body injury during the second period of Monday's Game 2 victory and is likely out for the remainder of the series. DeAngelo took Pesce's spot on the team's second pairing alongside Brady Skjei in practice. DeAngelo got into just 31 games with the Hurricanes this season, notching three goals and 11 points on 44 shots on goal in that time. A two-time 50-point man, he tallied 11 goals and 42 points as recently as last season while with the Philadelphia Flyers. The Hurricanes lead the Islanders 2-0 in the series entering Thursday's action.
Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Brett Pesce (undisclosed) is likely sidelined for the remainder of the team's first-round playoff series against the New York Islanders. The veteran left Monday's Game 2 win in the second period after suffering a non-contact injury while attempting to turn up the ice and join an offensive rush. He skated just 8:47 in the eventual 5-3 win. The stay-at-home blue-liner notched three goals and 13 points on 107 shots on goal while blocking another 113 shots across 70 games. The Hurricanes enter Thursday's Game 3 in New York holding a 2-0 lead in the series.
Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Brett Pesce (lower body) is questionable for Thursday's Game 3 of the team's first-round series against the New York Islanders. The veteran suffered a non-contact injury while attempting to join an offensive rush in the second period of Monday's Game 2 win. "We'll reassess," Hurricanes bench boss Rod Brind'Amour said on Tuesday. "We will find out more about Pesce today. So, I think we will wait and see for right now. Don't really want to jump the gun yet." The 29-year-old recorded three goals and 13 points in 70 games this season while adding 113 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating to his ledger. The Hurricanes stormed back to steal a 5-3 victory on Monday, increasing their series lead to 2-0 when the series switches to Long Island on Thursday.
Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Brett Pesce suffered a lower-body injury in Monday's Game 2 win over the Islanders and might be shelved for a while. "That's not looking good," said Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour about Pesce's injury postgame. The 29-year-old blue-liner was minus-one across 8:47 of action before leaving the contest on Monday. Pesce doesn't provide a lot fantasy-wise, but he has been a valued member of the team and averaged over 20 minutes of ice time during the regular season as a member of the second defensive pairing. Tony DeAngelo is looking at an opportunity to join the lineup for Game 3 on Thursday.
