Carolina Hurricanes coach Bill Peters didn’t just make a few tweaks Tuesday at the team’s morning skate. He shuffled the deck.
The lines had new looks. The defensive pairings changed. With the team caught in a four-game winless streak (0-3-1), with the Pittsburgh Penguins in town, Peters decided to shake things up.
“Trying to get some guys going,” Peters said.
Peters had center Victor Rask on a line with Sebastian Aho and Elias Lindholm. He had Jordan Staal centering Joakim Nordstrom and Brock McGinn, Teuvo Teravainen centering Jeff Skinner and Lee Stempniak, and Derek Ryan at center with Phil Di Giuseppe and Viktor Stalberg.
