The Carolina Hurricanes are back at home as they take on former Hurricanes Andrew Ladd and the Winnipeg Jets.

The Hurricanes are currently still in third place and first in their division (based on games played) and have a chance to go a full game up on Tampa Bay with a win against Winnipeg and a Lightning loss against Boston.

However, for the Canes to get that crucial win, they are going to have to do so without a lot of their core players. Carolina will be without Jeff Skinner (concussion), Tim Gleason (lower body, day-to-day), Joni Pitkanen (lower body, day-to-day), Tim Brent (lower body, day-to-day), and now Jamie McBain (upper body, out one to two weeks). With McBain out, Kitchener Ranger call-up Ryan Murphy will suit up for the Canes in his first NHL game. Murphy, an offensive-defense-man will be under the tutelage of Jay Harrison tonight; as Muller is forced to make more line changes to accommodate for the rash of injuries.

The Canes will roll with the following lineup tonight...

Tlusty, E. Staal - Semin

Bowman - J. Staal - Dwyer

Nodl - Jokinen - Wallace

LaRose - Nash - Westgarth

Welsh

Faulk - Corvo

Harrison - Murphy

Jordan - Sanguinetti

Ward

Ellis

The Jets are a very vulnerable team who is only 3-7-0 in their last ten games. They will be without Tobias Enstrom, Antti Miettinen, Al Montoya, and Zach Redmond. Redmond suffered a freak leg injury in an afternoon skate when he slipped and was then stepped on by a fellow teammate. Redmond has said to have lost quite a bit of blood, but the Jets training staff says he should be alright. Redmond has been escorted by ambulance to the hospital.

News and Notes

  • Ryan Murphy is the first Hurricanes/Whalers call-up since 1983, and the first significant call-up since November 14, 1981, when the Whalers called up current assistant head coach and former Hurricane/Whaler great: Ron Francis.
  • Former Hurricane and current Jet Andrew Ladd will be playing in his 500th career regular season game tonight.

"The National Weather Service has issued a HURRICANE WARNING; stay in doors because Jets will be falling out of the sky, shrapnel rain and crushed hope are a definite!!!"

I'm excited to see how Murphy plays, it's pretty much a win-win situation for the Canes.

If he performs well, he could easily be paired with Jay Harrison in the bottom six next year, but if he performs really well; he could be used as a trade asset to bring back a top four defense-man.

The benefit of having Murphy is that he is similar to Pitkanen, Corvo, and McBain. So what you have get in Murphy; you can also get in those other three if a trade presents itself where the Canes can unload Murphy for a top four defense-man.

As much as I hate to say it, that concussion was on him.

I know he was trying to make a play on both hits, but he needs to remember that he needs to think of his safety first.

The first hit (which if I read right, was not the hit that concussed him), he held on to the puck to long and got obliterated.

The second hit (which is the hit I believe he was concussed on), he turned into (I guess it would be away) from the hit causing himself to go into the boards. If he doesn't turn toward the boards and stays side ways, he doesn't get concussed from the hit.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By frankw · Posted

      I feel like anyone within the Panthers fanbase no matter where they land on Bryce should agree on this. He's a good kid. He's intelligent. But ultimately is he going to ever be the guy to command a locker room? Obviously none of us can say. But I just don't get any alpha vibes from him whatsoever. Is that a dealbreaker? Not necessarily. Here's the thing though. We had the talk of his generational years ahead of his age leadership trait clubbed over our heads for weeks nonstop before the draft. But after seeing someone like Sam Darnold navigate life as a starting QB I think anyone here should be able to acknowledge homerism there are some similarities to Darnold in terms of personality. That is not what we were sold. All of this takes me back to before the draft. I just can't shake the sense that Stroud just rubbed Tepper or someone the wrong way. Was he too confident? Not subservient enough? Did they feel Bryce was more marketable and media savvy? My gut says these things weighed more into the pick than they should have. If not. Stroud more than likely would have been the selection. What's done is done though. I'm just like you though. I want to see some fire from Bryce at some point this season. But I'm expecting to be disappointed considering his first order of business following one of the worst rookie seasons ever was to detach completely and do nothing. As always. Hoping for the best. I feel like I have to put a disclaimer at the end of this post for the Bryce superfans. I want to see him do well. I don't want this to end in the worst case scenario. There now we can be friends!

      Every Big-Time Throw from Bryce Young and CJ Stroud in 2023

      By Basbear · Posted

      I felt the Cam vibes on the huddle with Bryce, in fact its almost there. Threads that have no mention of young, turn in them.  Only deal is Cam had tons more supporters/nut huggers.  I honestly hated talking Cam with 90% of the huddle, in many eyes he was perfectly accurate with all his throws and if he had a legit great game the true haters were missing in action.   Cam board is now a Bryce board...
