The Canes open up their preseason slate Tuesday night in PNC Arena against the Tampa Bay Lightning, as it’s that time of the year again. There’s already been a change to the schedule, as Wednesday’s game in Tampa has been postponed due to Hurricane Ian, but Tuesday’s opener in Raleigh is still a go.
For the Canes, the roster for Tuesday night is a mixture of NHL players and organizational pieces, as the likes of Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov will be joined by guys like Alexander Pashin and Anttoni Honka.
The same is the case for the Lightning.
