Projected Lineup: Game Five vs. Islanders

RALEIGH, NC. -The Carolina Hurricanes will try to close things out with Antti Raanta between the pipes on Tuesday, as they host Game 5 against the New York Islanders at PNC Arena.

The veteran netminder was in the starter's crease at morning skate and has posted a .915 save percentage en route to three wins and one loss thus far this series.
There will be one change coming behind him though, as Frederik Andersen defended the net opposite of Raanta to start the day. Pyotr Kochetkov had backed up Raanta for Games 2, 3, and 4 while Andersen was recovering from a tweak suffered earlier in the series, but now, the 33-year-old is good to go.
In front of Raanta, Mackenzie MacEachern will remain on the top line after emerging as a star in Sunday's Game 5.
Although Rod Brind'Amour said yesterday that Jack Drury was doing better after leaving the most recent contest early due to an upper-body injury, the 23-year-old was not on the ice this morning. The head coach said after skate that it's not a concussion that the young forward is dealing with, but he's unavailable.
Derek Stepan, the lone healthy scratch up front on Sunday, is expected to draw back in.
