The Carolina Hurricanes look to win two-straight heading into the Stadium Series game on Saturday
In their final game before the Stadium Series on Saturday, the Carolina Hurricanes look to build some momentum. The Canes look to continue building off of their first win after the All-Star break tonight against the Montreal Canadiens.
The Canes will go with their familiar lines, there are no changes to forward combos or defensive pairings from Tuesday. The only change will be Antti Raanta will man the crease tonight.
The Canadiens held morning skate today at PNC Arena. Forward Sean Monahan participated but in a non-contact sweater. Monahan is one of six players on injured reserve, the Canadiens are also without Arber Xhekaj who was announced out indefinitely yesterday.
Sam Montembeault will start in net.
