Tonight, the Carolina Hurricanes organization honors its past as the team embraces its history in Hartford as the fans get a chance to reminisce in the nostalgia of the Hartford Whalers. Brass Bonanza glaring through PNC Arena, Plucky the Whale in attendance at games, and the Whalers jerseys and logos return to NHL ice once more. Every team’s favorite throwback jersey gets to come out of the wardrobe today.
Their opponent? The troublesome New Jersey Devils. They beat the Hurricanes a few days ago as they ruined the first career start for one of the Canes’ young netminders.
