The Hurricanes hit the road looking to make it two wins in a row against the Columbus Blue Jackets who currently sit in third place in the Metropolitan Division. Carolina is coming off a 3-1 victory over the Florida Panthers Tuesday night. Rookie Roland McKeown, who had a big impact on that outcome with two points, was sent back down to the AHL’s Charlotte Checkers to open up a spot for Brett Pesce who returns to the lineup tonight in Columbus.
Pesce was paired with Jaccob Slavin during the Canes morning skate.
