The Carolina Hurricanes are back at it again (on Alex Semin's birthday) taking on the Florida Panthers in the sun state. The Canes have called up Brett Sutter due to the fact that Andreas Nodl and Zac Dalpe have suffered severe injuries and will be out for quite some time.

The Canes will be without Chad LaRose (concussion), Joni Pitkanen (lower body), Tim Brent (lower body).

The Canes will roll with the following line-up...

Tlusty- E. Staal - Semin

Wallace - J. Staal - Skinner

Jokinen - Nash - Dwyer

Bowman - Sutter - Westgarth

Harrison - Faulk

Gleason - Corvo

Sanguinetti - McBain

Ward

Ellis (ill)

Inactive: None

Injured: LaRose, Pitkanen, Brent

The Panthers on the other hand have called up AHL goalie Jacob Markstrom who will potentially get the start in favor of Clemmensen who played horribly last night. However, Markstrom's goalie equipment has yet to arrive to the arena.

The Panthers will be without Jose Theodore, Dmitry Kulikov, Ed Jovanovski, Mike Weaver, Scottie Upshall, Kirs Versteeg, and Michael Caruso.

Go Canes!!!

Game Recap

Carolina Hurricanes (12-8-1)

Tonight was a night all about role reversals. Dan Ellis was scheduled to make the start in net for the Canes tonight, but an illness forced the team to go with red-hot net-minder Cam Ward. However, about half way through the second, Cam Ward went down when Hurricane defense-man Justin Faulk collided with him. Ward was evaluated with a leg injury and did not return. The Hurricanes were forced to put in Dan Ellis who played pretty well for being under the weather, but he did surrender two goals on 21 shots. The Canes were the better team for a period and half as Faulk, Semin (Happy Birthday Sasha), and Jordan Staal lit the lamp, but for the second period and a half, the Panthers were clearly the better team. Luckily Ellis was playing well and the game was already decided by then. If the Canes want to keep this winning strek alive they need to put forth a full effort every night, much like they did against Pittsburgh on Thursday and Florida on Saturday.

      We signed Lloyd

      I don’t think we would spend that kind of money on a LB that can’t play all 3 downs. It said he played 331 coverage snaps last year and only gave up one TD so him not being a coverage LB seems kinda like BS?

      Moton should be back in 27 just due to the guarantees. I can't see us cutting him and eating that cap hit. Trade might be a bit different, but how many teams trade for 20m tackles?  I wouldn't be surprised to see us take 2 this year, 1 in the first and one in the 4th that has potential to play inside if they don't develop as quickly. Our line is awfully thin atm with the unknown injury Hunt got during the postseason. Even if Hunt's ok, we still lack depth. I could see is walking away from this draft with 2 tackles and a center, especially if we move down to pick up an extra 3rd or 4th.

      He was so up and down for 4 seasons. They declined his 5 year option for a reason  Oloukon has been their LB1.  Evero loves to send pressure so my guess is if Lloyd is going to be used a 3 down back here he’ll be blitzing on 3rd down a lot. Would’ve liked to have signed someone a lot quicker if that’s the case. Lloyd isn’t very explosive. Used to be
