The Carolina Hurricannes will be missing at least one regular defenseman, while the Florida Panthers will play without a top-6 forward.

Pyotr Kochetkov will replace Frederik Andersen as the Hurricanes starting goalie for Game 3 against the Florida Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena on Saturday (8 p.m. ET; MAX, truTV, TNT, SN, TVAS, CBC).
