How about a mini playoff-style series in late February? That's what the Carolina Hurricanes are gearing up for, as they're now scheduled to face off with the Tampa Bay Lightning in four consecutive games, beginning with the second half of a back-to-back set on Saturday night.
Alex Nedeljkovic will get the start in net, and the Canes may make further lineup changes, but those are "still being finalized," according to head coach Rod Brind'Amour.
