William Karlsson’s status is the kind of detail that can tilt a series, especially when a coach starts handing out updates that sound more cautious than comforting. The Hurricanes know exactly how much one missing middle-six piece can change the matchup math. By puck drop, everyone in the building will be watching the same injury situation with a little too much interest.
