Familiar Faces

The Carolina Hurricanes are going to see a few familiar faces draw back into the lineup after being out with COVID for a couple weeks.

Teuvo Teravainen, Jordan Martinook, and Warren Foegele are set to make their return against the Blackhawks tonight; forward Jesper Fast is still on the COVID protocol list; Jaccob Slavin has also been removed from the list and will draw into the lineup tonight.

This of course means that the Carolina Hurricanes will still rely on the services of one of either Morgan Geekie or Steven Lorentz; both of these guys are more than welcome additions to the lineup.

Having Slavin, Turbo, Marty, and Foegele back will be a sight for sore eyes, even though the Carolina Hurricanes have managed to put together some very strong performances without them. Having these guys back is nowhere near a bad thing by any means; the Canes get a top playmaker, both alternate captains, and a significant portion of their depth back going forward, which I am 100% here for.
