The Carolina Hurricanes are still looking for their first win of the preseason and they'll hope to grab it in their last exhibition home game.
The Canes at least found a scoring touch on Friday in their 6-5 loss in Tampa Bay, but defense has been the one thing that hasn't been too hot for the Canes.
Lucky for them though, they haven't even played any of their projected top-four defensemen yet.

A lot was said last year about how the language barrier for Alexander Nikishin was one of the biggest things holding him back.<br><br>It was what made the Carolina Hurricanes' coaching staff hesitant about playing him in the postseason and now heading into his first full season in the NHL, it's something that the team is still struggling to overcome.<br><br>"He's better, for sure," Brind'Amour said about the Russian blueliner's progress. "In a perfect world, this wouldn't be an issue, but it is. You can't hide from it. The communication that happens in a game and in a teaching environment, it's so vital. To sit there and think they know what you're talking about when they don't understand the language is hard. It is an issue. I think he's way better now, but we'll see how much he's actually retaining when we get playing."
