When - 7 p.m., Thursday, April 17
Where - Canadian Tire Centre; Ottawa, ON, Canada
How to Watch - FanDuel Sports Network South, RDS, TSN5
The Carolina Hurricanes will play their final game of the regular season tonight against the Ottawa Senators (44-30-7).
Carolina is coming off of a 4-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens, but the games haven't really mattered to them for a while now.
The Canes iced a rookie heavy lineup last night, resting multiple starters in the process, I would expect much of the same tonight.
Ottawa however looks to be icing what will more than likely be their starting lineup based on their morning skate.
It seems the Senators want to get those guys feeling comfortable heading into the postseason, so it could be quite a tall task for Carolina, but again, this game only matters in terms of everyone leaving healthy.
