The Hurricanes began a six-game road trip on Monday night that will see them spending a lot of time in Canada for the next week and a half. The journey through Canada began in Winnipeg to face the Jets. The Canes came into the game riding a four-game point streak, looking to begin the trip on the right foot.
For the first time since the 8-2 loss to Tampa Bay, Antti Raanta would get the start for the Canes. Opposite him would be Laurent Brossoit, the Jets’ backup goalie. It was also a big night for former Hurricane Nino Niederreiter, who signed a three-year extension on Monday to stay in Winnipeg for a little longer.
