Team News
CARBrindNewsAPR 16, 12:06 PM

Rod Brind'Amour isn't ready to name a Game 1 goalie just yet. He said there's a likelihood we see both Freddie Andersen and Brandon Bussi in the series. "They both played really well down the stretch." He also said Pyotr Kochetkov isn't an option right now, but he is healthy.
