RALEIGH, N.C. — All signs point to Brandon Bussi making his second straight start for the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Vegas Golden Knights.Frederik Andersen, the Hurricanes’ No. 1 throughout the postseason until not dressing in Game 4, didn’t take part in Carolina’s morning skate on Thursday. Bussi was tending his position in what’s deemed to be the starter’s crease.Coach Rod Brind’Amour said Andersen skated on his own before the team on Thursday and that “everybody’s available.” He wouldn’t discuss the lineup, what’s going on with Andersen or if he’d be backing up on Thursday any further.If Andersen was going to start or back up, not taking part in the morning skate was extremely abnormal.Andersen, who has allowed 12 goals in the series, was pulled after giving up four in the second period of Game 3 on Saturday. Bussi came in and stopped 18 of 19 shots before losing in double overtime. He started Game 4 and backstopped Carolina to a 5-3 victory.Andersen gave up those four goals after getting hit in the head by Ivan Barbashev on an eventual overturned goal by Jack Eichel, so it’s unclear if he’s hurt or continues to need a break, as Brind’Amour said he did after Andersen didn’t dress for Tuesday’s game in Las Vegas.
