The first legitimate goalie dilemma of the playoffs belongs to the Carolina Hurricanes, now that starter Petr Mrazek is dealing with a lower-body injury that has him day to day. Carolina Hurricanes backup goalie Curtis McElhinney stopped all 17 shots he faced in relief Sunday to close out Game 2 in just the third post-season appearance he’s ever made in his NHL career. In Carolina, though, an injury has left the Hurricanes with some uncertainty. Both of their save percentages are better than any Hurricanes goalie since 2014 with more than 30 appearances. It’s also worth noting that the last time the Hurricanes made a goalie switch during the playoffs, it worked out pretty well for them.
