For the first time in the Rod Brind’Amour era, the Hurricanes have the opportunity to close out a series in five games tonight as the series shifts back to PNC Arena. Their lineup will look pretty similar to the one that took a 3-1 lead in New York Sunday.
Antti Raanta gets the nod in net for the fifth straight game of this series, and Sunday’s unlikely hero, Mackenzie MacEachern, stays in the top-line spot alongside Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis.
