It's Trade Deadline Eve and the Carolina Hurricanes have one more game before the big day as they host the Montreal Canadiens (24-28-10).
Carolina is coming off of a 5-3 loss to the Winnipeg Jets, a game that saw them surrender a three-goal lead in the third period, and so they'll be looking to make a statement after having to sit on that loss.
The biggest question for Carolina will be who is in net.
Frederik Andersen has been working out in the starter's crease the last two practices, but that's something that has happened before and he still hasn't come off of IR yet.
On the other hand, the Canes did activate Antti Raanta off of IR last night so he is an option along with Spencer Martin and Pyotr Kochetkov.
The Canes did not hold a morning skate today, so we won't really know until about 5 o'clock.
Montreal is coming off of a 4-3 comeback win over the Nashville Predators Tuesday night but have won just twice in their last nine games.
It's been an up and down season for the Habs much like the last few, but their young skaters continue to take strides in their development, especially the top line of Cole Caufield - Nick Suzuki - Juraj Slafkovsky.
