One week from today, the Carolina Hurricanes will wrap up the regular season.
It’s wild to think that the end of the season is already upon us, but here it is. The Canes will play their second-to-last home game Thursday night against the Jets, with Carolina in a heated race for the Metro crown and Winnipeg all but eliminated from playoff contention.
There’s still some personnel questions for the Canes heading into Thursday’s game, with things looking hopeful that Jordan Staal may be able to slot back in while Jesperi Kotkaniemi rests.
Rod Brind'Amour says that he's "hoping and assuming" that Jordan Staal can be in the lineup tomorrow against the Jets.
