Alex Nedeljkovic is expected to make his 15th start of the season in net. Here is the projected lineup for the Hurricanes. Forwards Svechnikov-Aho-Fast Niederreiter-Trocheck-Necas Martinook-Staal-Foegele Paquette-Lorentz-Geekie Defensemen Slavin-Hamilton Skjei-Pesce Fleury-Bean Goalies Nedeljkovic Mrazek" Hoping Mrazeks return and resurgence gives Ned a competitive boost. His last game was pretty sloppy and he was pretty slow. No McGinn again. Not sure rod has given any kind of an update.

Not the best numbers/stats this season but wouldn’t say no and let bean and fleury fight it out in the other spot. A little competition would def help fleury and probably Bean too.

"The Vancouver Canucks have had 21 players test positive for COVID-19. A total of 25 people associated with the Canucks have tested positive, including four staff members.

Past where it's suppose to end now for the Americans on the 11th/12th.

"Kyle Palmieri and Travis Zajac were traded to the New York Islanders by the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday. New Jersey receives forwards A.J. Greer and Mason Jobst, a first-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft and a fourth-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft."

I take it more as rolling his eyes at the twitter poster cause Robby sucked in most of those clips.

Ya for the most part that was some seriously horrible route running.

Starting to look at those RW’s we are 5 behind the Avs and 4 behind the Lightning.

Whistle to whistle and beyond, baby.

Foegele in between the legs and that muscle on Staal.

How was Svech offsides? The puck wasn’t even on the blue line from neutral.

Have a condolence beer.

5hole.

Ok. New game. Take them to school.

I can’t believe Tripp isn’t raging about them being offsides right now. It was clear as day.

His own guy fugged that too, he's so lucky he got the whistle.

They did.

fresh ice rush with the best unit in the league. Only Brobo in our way. He’s been stupidly good this game.

There’s our makeup penalty. Cause that was not a penalty.

I think it’s time for Paquette to show why we brought him in.

Florida is serious right now. We have to step up our game in the third.

Oh they are going to take it away too.
