Status report
The Hurricanes did not hold a morning skate Friday. ... Andersen is expected to start after Kochetkov made 22 saves in a 4-1 win at the Boston Bruins on Tuesday; the goalies have alternated starts the past 18 games since Andersen returned to the lineup March 7. ... Neighbours, a forward, will miss his third straight game. ... Krug is day to day; the defenseman did not play after the second period of a 5-2 win against the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday and will be replaced by Scandella. ... Hayes, a forward, will be a healthy scratch for the third time in four games. ... Binnington will alternate starts with Hofer for the fifth straight game.
