The Carolina Hurricanes are hoping for a positive update on Jordan Martinook's condition as they prepare for Game 4 of their first-round matchup against the Washington Capitals.
Martinook exited Saturday's Game 3 victory midway through the third period after taking a shot block from Capitals forward Pierre-Luc Dubois. He seemed to be favoring his left leg as he headed to the Hurricanes' locker room.

Before leaving the game, the 32-year-old forward had logged 15:16 of ice time, recorded three hits, and blocked two shots.
Rod Brind'Amour says he thinks the #Canes came out of Game 3 okay, and although there was some concern post-game last night, Jordan Martinook and Jalen Chatfield both should be good to go for Monday's Game 4.
Martinook tallied 15 goals and 36 points over 79 regular-season games for Carolina and has added one goal and three assists so far in the playoffs.
Saturday's win gave the Hurricanes a 2-1 edge in the best-of-seven series.
Game 4 is set for Monday night 7:00pm in Carolina. Hopefully, Martinook will be good to go come game-time.
