Carolina Hurricanes vs. New York Rangers: Lineups and Game Discussion

The Hurricanes will look to get back into the win column Sunday evening in PNC Arena, with the Rangers coming to town fresh off a 2-1 win in Tampa Bay Saturday night.

The Canes will be without Nino Niederreiter, who will be serving a one-game suspension for a slash at the Washington Capitals’ bench Friday night.

Some good news for the Hurricanes is it looks like Tony DeAngelo will make his return from injury Sunday against his former team. With Jordan Martinook injured and Niederreiter suspended, DeAngelo’s return means the Canes will go 11/7 against New York.

Another fortunate break for the Canes will come in New York’s net, as Vezina frontrunner Igor Shesterkin played Saturday night. That means Carolina will face Alexander Georgiev, a significant step down from Shesterkin.

Here’s how the two teams will line up:
