No morning skate for the #Canes to start the day, but Rod Brind'Amour shares at media availability that Pyotr Kochetkov will start in goal and Evgeny Kuznetsov will go back into the lineup for tonight's Game 3.

It will be Kochetkov's first appearance since April 14.

Rod Brind'Amour on his decision to turn to Kochetkov tonight -

"Freddie's played really well, but he's also played a lot. I think giving him a little rest is the best thing."

One interesting nugget from today, both Brind'Amour and Waddell name-dropped #Canes Special Advisor to the GM Justin Williams when discussing bringing in Kuznetsov.

The two played together in Washington and it sounds like that relationship is very alive and well.

• Michael Nylander (1994)
• Jeff O'Neill (1996-2004)
