NASHVILLE - The Carolina Hurricanes have clinched the Central Division, but first place in the entire league is still on the line in two games against the Nashville Predators, an opponent that the Canes might face in the first round of the playoffs.
Alex Nedeljkovic will get the start in net on Saturday night, while otherwise the Canes' lineup appears unchanged as they tune up for the playoffs.
"There's one way to play," head coach Rod Brind'Amour said. "If you're in the lineup, you've got to go full speed ahead."
