2022-23 Regular Season — Game 39
Thursday, January 5, 2023 — 7:00 p.m. ET
PNC Arena — Raleigh, NC
So, have you heard the news? The one about the big offseason acquisition making his first appearance at PNC Arena tonight with his new team? You’d have to think he’ll get a roaring ovation, right? I mean, capacity crowd, beloved player, you can’t go wrong with this.
But enough about Nino Niederreiter.
There’s theoretically some question about whether Max Pacioretty will make his debut tonight with the Hurricanes, although realistically, if he wasn’t ready to go, they wouldn’t have removed him from LTIR (and thus add his salary back to the cap) yesterday.
