WASHINGTON, D.C. - Carolina Hurricanes forward Mark Jankowski will be a game-time decision for Game 2 against the Washington Capitals on Thursday.
The trade deadline acquisition left during the second period of Game 1 with an undisclosed injury and did not return. Replacing Jack Roslovic in the lineup during Round 1, if Jankowski is unable to go, one would expect that it will either be Roslovic or Tyson Jost entering in his place.
With that expected to be the only question mark, the Canes are likely to go back to Frederik Andersen in net. It was a light night for the veteran backstop to start the series, facing just 14 shots in 63+ minutes of work.
