The Canes look to make it two in a row against Jersey
The Carolina Hurricanes return to the ice and will host the New Jersey Devils tonight for game two of round one of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The game has a special start time of 6 P.M. and will be televised locally by the FanDuel Sports network and nationally by ESPN.
The Canes dominated game one, especially in the first two periods, as they won, 4-1.
Logan Stankoven provided much of the scoring as he notched two goals for the home team.
If we know head coach Rod Brind’Amour, he will stick with the same lineup he went with for game one.
Jarvis – Aho – Blake
Svechnikov – Kotkaniemi – Hall
Martinook – Staal – Stankoven
Carrier – Roslovic – Robinson
Burns – Slavin
Orlov – Chatfield
Gostisbehere – Walker
Andersen
We will see. If there are any changes, they will be mentioned in the comments below.
It was reported by Cory Lavalette that Taylor Hall did not attend practice yesterday. There was no report about any specific injury.
Cory just confirmed that there would be no lineup changes for tonight.
No lineup changes for the Hurricanes. Andersen back in net.

A couple of the Devils were banged up on Sunday.
Amanda Stein covers the Devils and she has the lines as follows:
#NJDevils are without Dillon and Luke at morning skate today.
Here’s how the lines are shaping up… Will wait on official word from HC Keefe later on availabilities.
