Teravainen out indefinitely after breaking hand in Game 2

Carolina Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour announced forward Teuvo Teravainen is out for the foreseeable future after sustaining a broken hand in Wednesday's overtime win over the New York Islanders.

Teravainen was injured on an unpenalized slash from Jean-Gabriel Pageau in the third period and will undergo surgery Thursday.

"I'm a little pissed, to be honest with you," Brind'Amour said, per team reporter Walt Ruff.

Carolina is already without impact forwards Andrei Svechnikov and Max Pacioretty, who are each out long term due to injuries sustained in the regular season.

Teravainen was limited to 68 contests this season and posted 37 points - his least productive season on a per-game basis since joining the Hurricanes in 2016-17.

Carolina won Game 2 thanks to Jesper Fast's overtime heroics. The team will head to New York with a commanding 2-0 series lead.
