The Hurricanes had a lot to celebrate before the puck even dropped for Tuesday night’s game in Dallas. Teuvo Teravainen made his return to the lineup for the first time since March 4 after missing 26 straight games with concussion symptoms.
He played 16:32 alongside Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov in his return.
“He’s been through a long year,” said Jordan Staal. “It’s one thing to have a concussion, I can’t imagine one during the pandemic. I’ve been through them. It’s not fun. It’s not a fun injury. You just want to get back out there. It was awesome seeing him out there.
