Shayne Gostisbehere Expected To Be Available Tuesday
2 years agoCarolina Hurricanes defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere (undisclosed) is expected to be in the lineup Tuesday against the Islanders despite leaving the morning skate early. The offensive-minded blue-liner appeared to have tweaked something and left the ice in pain, but Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour has said that Gostisbehere "should be fine" for Game 5. The 30-year-old hasn't had a great playoff campaign so far, going scoreless in four outings with a minus-three rating, but with the team having lost a number of its top-six forward, the blue line has played a big part in the scoring. Gostisbehere and Jalen Chatfield are the only Hurricanes defensemen without a point through four games, while Brent Burns is tied for the team lead in scoring with five points.
