NHL: Carolina Hurricanes at Montreal Canadiens

In Case You Missed It:

Carolina Hurricanes drop chippy game to the Washington Capitals in their first game against their regional rivals in two years.

They said it: quotes from Rod Brind’Amour, Nino Niederreiter, and Sebastian Aho after yesterday’s loss.

Reading Assignments:

With Jeff Gorton hired, the Canadiens could look to flip the traditional front-office power struggle. [Daily Faceoff]

Justin Schultz (upper body) is listed as on IR on the Capitals roster on NHL media site. That would open a spot for Eller to return to active roster without anyone being sent down.

Schultz was injured Wednesday against Montreal. Would be eligible to return vs. CHI on Thursday.
