RALEIGH, N.C. - Taylor Hall will return to the Carolina Hurricanes' lineup on Sunday when they host the Toronto Maple Leafs.
With a playoff berth already clinched and their first-round opponent already set, Rod Brind'Amour continues to use the final games of the regular season to give some of his lineup mainstays a rest. Hall, who had the day off yesterday, will draw back in today, while Jordan Martinook will have his first game off since the 2021-22 season.
Injury-wise, Shayne Gostisbehere (upper-body injury) and Jesperi Kotkaniemi (undisclosed injury) will both get another day to heal their wounds as well. Brind'Amour revealed pre-game that he expects both to be back in the lineup again on Wednesday in Montreal.
In net, the team is expected to turn to Frederik Andersen against his old club. The veteran netminder will look to get back on track after coming out on the wrong end of his last two outings.
