The Carolina Hurricanes will play their final regular season home game of the season tonight as they host the Toronto Maple Leafs (49-26-4).
Carolina is coming off of a 7-3 win over the New York Rangers, which snapped a four-game losing streak and also eliminated New York from postseason contention.
The Canes have been rotating skaters as of late and it wouldn't be a surprise if they continue that trend tonight.
Toronto enters the contest coming off of a 1-0 overtime victory over the Montreal Canadiens.
The Maple Leafs hold the top spot in the Atlantic Division, with just a four-point lead over the Tampa Bay Lightning, so they're a team still fighting for positioning.
