The team will not be having on ice practice on Friday and as such won’t have media availability, so Thursday was the Hurricanes’ second-to-last practice before the team departs for the Toronto bubble.

Head coach Rod Brind’Amour again worked on more intense game-scenarios and special teams practice, but with a very notable absence.

Canes defenseman Dougie Hamilton was absent from Thursday’s practice after having left Wednesday’s practice early in visible discomfort.
