Game 4 Projected Lineup: Bruins vs. Hurricanes

TORONTO - A pivotal Game 4 is ahead for the Carolina Hurricanes, who will either level their First Round series against the Boston Bruins at two games apiece or fall into a 3-1 series deficit.

The Canes will be without Andrei Svechnikov, who underwent an MRI on Sunday, and Joel Edmundson, who head coach Rod Brind'Amour said this morning is obviously "closer to playing" than Svechnikov.

"We need everybody to step up," Brind'Amour said. "If you're going to beat the best team in the league, you can't do it with half the team or a few guys. You need everybody going."
