This thing on? It may just be an exhibition game, but, for the first time since a heartbreaking loss to the New York Rangers in game 7 of last year’s second round, we’ve got a real, live hockey game to talk about, with real lineups to go along with it!
As the Hurricanes get started on preparing for the 2022-23 season tonight at PNC Arena, it’ll be a veteran-heavy lineup, especially at forward, with the bulk of the players dressing up front tonight made up of faces you’ll see on opening night.
In fact, based on the lines from the Hurricanes’ morning skate today, it’s entirely possible tonight’s top nine up front will be the same one the Hurricanes ice when it all starts for real against Columbus in a couple weeks.
