The Carolina Hurricanes dismantled the Florida Panthers last night to the tune of an 8-2 win, however while that was all nice, we are more than likely to see a role reversal tonight.

The Hurricanes started a roster that will almost entirely make up their opening night lineup against a Panthers group that had maybe one player who will make their lineup.

It was a mismatch of monstruous proportions and it showed on the scoreboard. 

However, we're probably going to see a bit of a mismatch tonight too as the Canes will be sending their primarily prospect-based group to Sunrise where they will face a bit more experienced roster, although Florida is still holding out the big guns.
