The combination of a two time-zone difference and being the visiting team meant that the Hurricanes’ “morning” skate actually went off at about 1:30 Eastern today, so we had to wait a little while to get the updates for the lineup tonight. Bill Peters is making a few changes to the lineup that won 5-3 in Edmonton on Tuesday, including reinserting Janne Kuokkanen in place of Martin Necas and mixing up the forward lines accordingly.
Another change will be on the back end, where Trevor van Riemsdyk was activated from injured reserve (the team release is at the end of the article) and will slot back in alongside Haydn Fleury tonight.
