The Carolina Hurricanes will play their second preseason game tonight as they host the Florida Panthers.
After a 2-1 loss to Tampa on Monday, the Canes will be looking for a better result with a few more NHLers in the lineup. In total, the Hurricanes look to be playing eight main roster staples along with a few other depth NHL talents.
It will be the first look at Nikolaj Ehlers in a Canes sweater along with his top line teammates, so that should be a fun treat for Hurricanes fans.
Important to remember that tonight's game starts at 6 p.m. and it should be a near-sold out event with it being the $10 Community Game.
