Preseason hockey began on Tuesday night, and while we shouldn’t take much stock in the results of each game, it was hard not to celebrate a Hurricanes win. The beginning of the preseason is the first indication meaningful hockey is right around the corner. If this opener was any indication, fun times are ahead.
Hockey was back at PNC Arena for the first time since May as the Canes battled the Tampa Bay Lightning. The preseason opener featured a lineup full of prospects, new signees, and players on PTOs for the Canes as Frederik Andersen started in the net.
