Rod Brind'Amour weighs goaltending options ahead of Game 4
Summary

Rod Brind'Amour, head coach of the Carolina Hurricanes, is facing a significant decision regarding his goaltender for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final. Despite Brandon Bussi's strong performance in Game 3, where he nearly led a comeback against the Vegas Golden Knights, Brind'Amour has not confirmed who will start in goal for the next game. Backup Bussi stopped 18 of 19 shots in relief of Frederik Andersen, who struggled with 4 goals allowed on 16 shots. Andersen has a solid playoff record but has faltered in the series, complicating Brind'Amour's decision ahead of the crucial matchup.
