The Hurricanes will look to extend their point streak to six games tonight with a visit from their dear friends north of the border.
Carolina will once again be without Jesperi Kotkaniemi, who Rod Brind’Amour said will be out at least a couple weeks, but it looks like Jordan Martinook is set to return from his lower-body injury.
Here’s how Carolina projects to line up for this one:
Teuvo Teravainen - Sebastian Aho - Seth Jarvis
Andrei Svechnikov - Vincent Trocheck - Max Domi
Nino Niederreiter - Jordan Staal - Jesper Fast
Jordan Martinook - Derek Stepan - Martin Necas
Jaccob Slavin - Tony DeAngelo
Brady Skjei - Brett Pesce
Brendan Smith - Ian Cole
Frederik Andersen
Antti Raanta
Injuries: Ethan Bear, Jesperi Kotkaniemi
Scratches: Steven Lorentz
Montreal had an optional morning skate this morning, and will get forward Jake Evans back from injury.
