Gostisbehere (Lower Body) Out for Fifth Straight Game, Misses Saturday vs. Ottawa

Shayne Gostisbehere (lower body) is slated to miss Saturday's game against Ottawa, marking his fifth consecutive absence for the Carolina Hurricanes. The defenseman remains day-to-day. This season, Gostisbehere has produced six goals, 32 points, 73 shots on net, and 42 blocked shots across 35 appearances. With Carolina's next game scheduled for Thursday against Utah, he will have additional time to recover from his injury before potentially returning to the lineup.
