Carolina Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour faces a critical decision on his Game 4 lineup after falling behind 2-1 in the Stanley Cup Final against Vegas. With uncertainty surrounding starter Freddie Andersen, who struggled in Game 3, Brind'Amour said he'll make decisions after Monday's practice. The coach emphasized no immediate changes are anticipated as the team prepares to extend the series.

Andersen allowed four goals on 16 shots through two periods in Game 3, leading to Brandon Bussi's relief appearance. The veteran goalie's numbers have sharply declined in recent playoff rounds, posting an .856 save percentage and 2.77 goals-against average since the Eastern Conference finals. Despite the struggles, Brind'Amour defended his performance as "solid."

Brind'Amour maintained confidence in his team despite the emotionally draining Game 3 overtime loss, noting "we're one shot away in two games from being up 3-0." The coach remained non-committal on lineup changes, saying decisions will come after evaluating players' health following practice. Game 4 is scheduled for Tuesday in Las Vegas.
