Yahoo Sports— Carolina Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour didn't sound optimistic about the status of Brett Pesce after the defenseman exited Monday's playoff win in the second period due to a lower-body injury. Pesce appeared to be curling back on the ice when he came up hobbled in a non-contact situation. Brind'Amour said Pesce would be further evaluated Tuesday, calling the injury “the big negative of tonight for sure.”
