The Carolina Hurricanes embark Sunday evening on a three-game west coast road trip, beginning with a matchup against the basement dwellers of the NHL, the Los Angeles Kings, while also featuring their home threads for the entire road trip.
The big story entering play on Sunday is the apparent return to health for the Canes D-core, as Brett Pesce and Haydn Fleury have been removed from IR and are available on Sunday night. As such, Jake Bean was sent back to Charlotte after his brief two-game cameo. Elsewhere, Micheal Ferland remains absent due to his concussion, and Clark Bishop is expected to remain in the lineup in his place.
