Rod Brind&#8217;Amour told reporters that the defenseman blocked a shot late in Tuesday&#8217;s game and hasn&#8217;t felt great following.<\/p>\n<p>In the crease, <strong>Brandon Bussi<\/strong> is expected to get the nod once again. Looking to improve on his 11-1-1 start, the 27-year-old made a career-best 38 saves in his last appearance, Dec. 19 in Florida. Although it was another stellar performance, he took the shootout loss, snapping his nine-game win streak, which had matched a franchise record.<\/p>\n<h3>Tonight&#8217;s Projected Lineup&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p><strong><em>Forwards<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Svechnikov &#8211; Aho &#8211; Stankoven<\/p>\n<p>Ehlers &#8211; Kotkaniemi &#8211; Blake<\/p>\n<p>Carrier &#8211; Staal &#8211; Martinook<\/p>\n<p>Hall &#8211; Jankowski &#8211; Robinson<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Defense<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nikishin &#8211; Walker<\/p>\n<p>Gostisbehere &#8211; Chatfield<\/p>\n<p>Reilly &#8211; Nystrom<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Starting Goaltender<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bussi<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Injuries<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Seth Jarvis (Upper-Body Injury | Week-to-Week as of Dec. 22)<\/p>\n<p>Charles Alexis Legault (Hand Injury | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/hurricanes\/news\/legault-undergoes-surgery-on-right-hand\" target=\"_blank\">Out 3-4 Months From Nov. 11<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>K&#8217;Andre Miller (Lower-Body Injury | Being Re-evaluated)<\/p>\n<p>Jaccob Slavin (Upper-Body Injury | Week-to-Week as of Dec. 22)<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Scratches<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bradly Nadeau<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p><strong>PP1:<\/strong> Aho, Blake, Staal (Ehlers), and Svechnikov with Gostisbehere<\/p>\n<p><strong>PP2:<\/strong> Ehlers, Hall, and Stankoven with Nikishin and Walker\n  <\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/hurricanes\/news\/projected-lineup-december-27-vs-detroit\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RALEIGH, N.C. &#8211; The Carolina Hurricanes are hoping to get two important pieces back in their lineup on Saturday when they take on the Detroit Red Wings.
