Line Change
Killorn has served his one-game suspension and will draw back into the Lightning lineup for Game 4.
Suspension
Killorn has been suspended for Game 3 for his hit on Brock Nelson in Game 2.
Killorn was assessed a five-minute major and was ejected from Game 2 and will miss Game 3 as well. With Killorn suspended and Brayden Point likely out, the Lighting lineup will look a lot different in Game 3. Look for two of Carter Verhaeghe, Mathieu Joseph or Mitchell Stephens to draw into the lineup if Point joins Killorn in the stands.

Mrazek will start Game 2 vs. the Rangers.
Mrazek stopped 24 of 26 shots in the Hurricanes 3-2 win over the Rangers in Game 1. In typical Hurricanes fashion, Henrik Lundqvist was a lot busier in the first game of the series but Mrazek stood tall when he was called upon. Mrazek is now 6-5-0 with an .896 SV% in 12 career playoff games with the Hurricanes.

Mrazek led the Hurricanes onto the ice for warmups.
In his second season with the Hurricanes, Mrazek went 21-16-2 with a 2.69 GAA and .905 SV% in 38 starts. Despite the Hurricanes dominating the puck against the Rangers, Mrazek was 0-3 with a 3.44 GAA and .872 SV% in three starts vs. New York. During the 2019 postseason, Mrazek went 5-5 with a 2.73 GAA and .894 SV%.
The Ducks have signed Troy Terry to a three-year extension worth $4.35 million ($1.45M AAV).

Mrazek (concussion) will start Tuesday in Detroit.
Mrazek has missed the last six games with a concussion that he suffered in Toronto during the "Zamboni Driver Game." Prior to getting hurt, Mrazek was 2-3-0 with a 3.16 GAA and .904 SV% in the month of February. Tonight he returns to face his former team, who are on a two-game winning streak but are still 4-8-1 while scoring just 1.69 goals per game in their last 13 home games.

Mrazek (concussion) will remain sidelined for 7-to-10 more days.
Hurricanes GM Don Waddell addressed the media on Tuesday and said Mrazek is at least one more week with a concussion. The Hurricanes have gone 0-2-1 while giving up 11 goals (3.67 GA/gm) since Mrazek and James Reimer got hurt.
Kreider (foot) will not play Sunday vs. the Flyers.
Kreider suffered a fractured foot in Philadelphia on Friday and will come out of the lineup for at least Sunday’s game. Head coach David Quinn did not have a timetable on Kreider’s absence prior to Sunday’s game but you have to anticipate they will be without him for at least a couple of weeks. Phil Di Giuseppe will move up to the top line to start Sunday’s game.
Kreider (illness) will play Tuesday.
Kreider was listed as a game-time decision but head coach David Quinn told reporters that the recently signed winger will play vs. the Islanders. Kreider comes in with 14 points (8G / 6A) in his last 13 games.
