Resting a lot of guys tonight, As I expected also Slavin isn't even on the injury report pulling him the other night appears to have been purely precautionary.... 

Rod said otherwise but I believe are correct and its just pure hyperbole at this point.

NASHVILLE - Before facing off in the first round of the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Carolina Hurricanes and Nashville Predators square off in the regular-season finale.


The Match-Up

Monday, May 10, 8 p.m.

Listen: 99.9 FM The Fan, Hurricanes.com/Listen, Hurricanes app


Numbers to Know

1: Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 27 of 29 shots in Nashville on Saturday, suffering his first regulation loss in nine starts. Nedelljovic owns a 1.90 goals-against averange and a .932 save percentage, which ranks first among all NHL goaltenders with at least 15 starts.

16: The Canes have killed each of their last 16 penalties, going seven games without allowing a power-play goal. The streak is tied for the seventh-longest in franchise history and is the longest for the Canes since March 2017.

"Here is the projected lineup for the Hurricanes.

Forwards

Foegele-Aho-Teravainen
Niederreiter-Trocheck-Necas
Martinook-Lorentz-Fast
McCormick-Shore-Geekie

Defensemen

Gardiner-Keane
Skjei-Hakanpaa
Ryan-Bean

Goalies

Mrazek
Reimer

Scratch: Nedeljkovic

Injuries: Hamilton (undisclosed), McGinn (upper body), Paquette (lower body), Pesce (undisclosed), Slavin (undisclosed), Staal (undisclosed), Svechnikov (undisclosed)

Taxi squad: McKeown"

Glad Martinook is getting a practice game. McGinn I'm not too worried about as he'll be a 4th line smash if healthy in the playoffs, though Paquette concerns me for the reason @Anybodyhome listed before.

Last of the season. No Svech, Staal or D. Lets go out there chippy.

I don't like the decision to lay down in the game. It definitely isn't good for the notoriously streaky Mrazek and I don't like falling from first to potentially fourth overall.

I hope they can get fired up in the playoffs after losing two straight to Nashville. Definitely don't like going in cold.

    • This is a wild statement it’s to late to save his season with six games left? That mountain of bad film as a rookie with trash coaching a weak azz line and dismal WRs. Guys that can’t catch on with other teams or guys traded to teams that are subpar at best. We put Bryce in a terrible situation to start his career does that matter to you or you feel he should’ve, as a rookie elevate this dumpster fire. If you’re giving him a fair assessment judge him off the last four games a good o-line decent WRs still not comparable to any other young QB WR room Hou (tank/nico..) Tua (Hill/Waddle) Caleb (Moore/Rome/Allen) let’s see what he can do with a decent structure around him for the next few weeks then let’s revisit how we’re going to grade or assess his performances.
    • As a bit of counterpoint, if he wanted to continue his professional career then handling it like a mature adult was the only option. Dude had been playing like absolute ass and needed to own it. It's great that he did but it's not like he didn't have a large amount of self interest in doing so. Not picking on Bryce specifically here, as this applies to any player or even anyone struggling early in their career. And he still has a long way to go, but signs are positive.
    • I agree he could still develop, but I think that could still be developed in practice. Just after a scary injury like that, I'm nervous to see him get reps in a live game situation when the best possible outcome is nothing more than worsening our draft selection. That said, I'm 100% not a doctor, so if he's clear to play, he wants to play, and there's no potential of aggravating this injury (which by all accounts it doesn't seem that is the case for this type of injury) then go for it, I guess.   But you hit the nail on the head. This draft class is really impressive. I can't remember the last time I was so impressed with a rookie that I'd actually prefer shutting him down. His game is so apparent that he doesn't need to prove anything at this point. Can't remember the last time that happened!
