Hurricanes Lose William Carrier To Upper-Body Injury In Game 3

When a player exits like that, the ripple effect shows up everywhere - line combos, bench trust, and the kind of physical edge teams spend weeks trying to build. The timing matters because every shift in a playoff game gets magnified, and a missing forward can change how aggressively a coach manages the rest of the night.
