The Carolina Hurricanes made a change in net for Tuesday night's Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Carolina gave rookie Brandon Bussi his first career playoff start as the Hurricanes look to level the series at 2-2 in Las Vegas, with the announcement becoming shortly before the game began.

ESPN reported that Frederik Andersen, who was 12-1 in the team's first three playoff series, is a healthy scratch with no injury designation.

Andersen allowed four second-period goals in Saturday's Game 3 loss. He was replaced at the start of the third period by Bussi, who stopped 18 of 19 shots as the Hurricanes rallied before falling 5-4 in double overtime.

Bussi, 27, was acquired off waivers from the Florida Panthers last October. He entered the season with no NHL experience, but became a critical member of the Hurricanes' goalie rotation, amassing a 31-6-2 record, 2.47 goals-against average and .895 save percentage.
