On Monday, the Carolina Hurricanes will face the Ottawa Senators in Raleigh for Game 2 of a Round One duel.
The game is scheduled for 7:30 pm EDT.
In Game 1, the Hurricanes made a statement with a shutout win – outworking, outhitting, and outshooting the Senators on aggregate. The highlight of the game was not only the excellent work of Frederik Andersen, but also the scoring of the second line secondary, who scored both of the Hurricanes' goals.
However, for the Senators, they spent half of the game without top-pairing defenseman Artem Zab. Early in the second period, he took a big hit on Seth Jarvis and did not play for the rest of the frame, then was absent from the bench for the third frame. His status for Game 2 remains unclear.

More likely is that both Frederik Andersen and Linus Ullmark will start for their respective teams.
Anderson made a case for the Game 2 start, not only getting the shutout, but also making several big saves throughout the match. He was fast.
Additionally, Ullmark also performed remarkably well. He made 27 saves on 29 shots (16 of those shots were high-danger scoring chances), giving him a satisfactory .931 save percentage.
