Brind'Amour Hides Game 4 Goalie Choice as Hurricanes Trail Golden Knights 2-1

Summary
Game 4 remains a goalie mystery after Rod Brind'Amour said he has chosen a starter but will not reveal whether Carolina will use Frederik Andersen or Brandon Bussi on Tuesday in Las Vegas.
Andersen skipped Monday's skate for what Brind'Amour called a maintenance day, but the coach said the veteran will be available and dismissed injury speculation after Ivan Barbashev collided with Andersen's mask in Game 3.
12 goals on 65 shots against Vegas have left Andersen with an .815 save percentage in the Final, a sharp drop from his .950 mark through Carolina's first two playoff series.
Bussi, who stopped 18 of 19 shots in relief during the double-overtime Game 3 loss and went 31-6-2 in the regular season, took the starter's crease at practice as Carolina tries to avoid a 3-1 series hole.
