Carolina forward Ryan Bayda will sit out Game 4 against Boston on Friday night due to flu-like symptoms.
Bayda, who has provided energy and more than a few scoring chances as the team's fourth-line left wing, has been one of the biggest surprises of Carolina's run so far. He had an assist on Carolina's lone goal in its 4-1 Game 1 loss at Boston after scoring two goals in the first round against New Jersey.
Bayda will be replaced by Tim Conboy, who has played in one game this postseason and is the more physical of the two players.
