Jeff Skinner is expected to return to the Carolina Hurricanes lineup after missing two games with an upper-body injury. Goaltender Cam Ward will start for Carolina which is 1-5-3 in its past nine games. Peters complimented the play of Patrick Brown, who played 12:18 in a 4-3 overtime loss at the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday after being recalled from Charlotte of the American Hockey League. "Brown was outstanding with his energy, his pace and his execution," Peters said. "If he can play like that, it makes it easy for us in the summer." Brown, who has played 15 NHL games over three seasons, will play on the fourth line with Joakim Nordstrom and center Derek Ryan, who scored against the Lightning. "It's a real interesting line moving forward, with a lot of pace on the wings with a skill guy in the middle," Peters said. "We'll see how it looks tonight. We want to play fast coming down the stretch. We will see if we're able to here tonight."
