Ahead of tonight’s game against Chicago, the Hurricanes saw another schedule change: tomorrow’s opponent has been changed from the Blackhawks to Tampa Bay Lightning, a rescheduling of the matchup previously scheduled for March 28. That will give the Canes four straight against Tampa Bay after tonight.
Rod Brind’Amour, Warren Foegele and Dougie Hamilton spoke to the media about tonight’s matchup and the coming games:
On if the schedule changes affect anything: Not really. If we’d known Tampa would be on our schedule, we probably would have done something a little different, but honestly, I was just preparing for tonight and we’ll worry about tomorrow tomorrow.
