The Carolina Hurricanes come home tonight to play their fourth home game of the season against the Columbus Blue Jackets. In the last game against Columbus, the Canes lost late in the third period despite the infamous benching of Patrik Laine.
Carolina looks could turn back to James Reimer, who won his first matchup against Columbus, in net. With Joonas Korpisalo playing Saturday, John Tortorella would go to Elvis Merzlikins tonight. Merzlikins, who has missed time with an injury, has not started a game since last month in a 3-1 loss against the Chicago Blackhawks.
