BUFFALO, NY. -Forward Steven Lorentz may return to the Carolina Hurricanes' lineup tonight when they take on the Buffalo Sabres.

78 has been out of the lineup for a week, but skated alongside Max Domi and Jordan Martinook at Tuesday's morning skate.
With Domi playing with the above duo, this would also mean that Martin Necas will return to working with Andrei Svechnikov and Vincent Trocheck.
On defense the same six skaters are expected as Ethan Bear remains out with his lower-body injury.
Lastly, in net, Frederik Andersen will start for a third consecutive game. The All-Star netminder is 33-11-3 with a league-leading 2.03 goals against average (GAA) and a .928 save percentage (SV%).
