Carolina Hurricanes forward Micheal Ferland is not expected to play against the Washington Capitals on Thursday night.
"I would say (he's) still a ways away," Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour told reporters, including ABC11's Joe Mazur, on Wednesday.
When asked if he was ruling the 26-year-old out for Game 4, the Carolina bench boss replied, "Pretty much."
Ferland left Game 3 on Monday night and didn't return with what the club classified as an upper-body injury.
