Jesper Fast is not expected play for the Carolina Hurricanes in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, coach Rod Brind'Amour told Bally Sports South on Thursday. The forward has been dealing with a neck strain sustained in the final game of the regular season, a 6-3 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on April 16. Brind'Amour broke the news prior to Game 3 of the Eastern Conference First Round against the New York Islanders at UBS Arena.
