Status report
Hall made the trip and participated in the Hurricanes’ morning skate, but coach Rod Brind'Amour said the forward will not play. … Wright is expected to make his Predators debut after being acquired in a trade with the Seattle Kraken for forward Matthew Wood on Sunday. … Marchessault, a forward, is a game-time decision due to an undisclosed issue; he did not skate Monday or Tuesday. … Hague, a defenseman, hasn’t played since being benched in the second period of a 4-3 loss to the Washington Capitals on Oct. 29. He was minus-3 in 8:39 of ice time.
