Jalen Chatfield Might Be an Option for Hurricanes Wednesday
Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jalen Chatfield (undisclosed) may return to the lineup for Game 5 against the Florida Panthers on Wednesday night. According to Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer, either Chatfield or Sean Walker (undisclosed) could be ready to rejoin the action. Chatfield has not played since Game 4 against the Washington Capitals in Round 2, missing five games. In his absence, Scott Morrow has received an extended look in the lineup, but has not made a significant impact. Morrow has accumulated a minus-five rating in four postseason appearances, averaging 11:11 of ice time. He played under nine minutes (8:33) in Monday's elimination game, which indicates that Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour does not have much confidence in the rookie in these situations.
