The Hurricanes are slowly bringing back injured players, and it looks like tonight should see Brett Pesce’s return to the lineup.
Pesce was activated from the IR this morning and skated in morning practice with Jaccob Slavin in the top defensive pair. He’s been out since he sustained an upper body injury on Jan. 12 in a morning skate, and returned to the ice for the first time (as far as we know) in the morning skate prior to Saturday’s game against the Red Wings.
The defensive lines will shuffle quite a bit: Haydn Fleury will be back in action with Justin Faulk, Klas Dahlbeck will sit and Roland McKeown.
