RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Frederik Andersen has been playing so well in net for the Carolina Hurricanes that coach Rod Brind'Amour is staying with his hands-off approach when it comes to goaltenders. Things have been trickier for the Edmonton Oilers and Stuart Skinner. kAmp?56CD6? :D 4@>:?8 @77 9:D 7:CDE A@DED62D@?

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Andrei Svechnikov gave the Carolina Hurricanes their breakthrough moment to continue his strong postseason, while Jack Roslovic offered his own stay-ready moment after recently being a healthy scratch. That pushed the Hurricanes back ahead of the Washington Capitals in their second-round playoff series — along with maybe easing some of the frustration that built amid two games filled with blocked shots and turned-away chances. kAm$G649?:<@G A@F?465 @?
