Goaltender Eddie Lack will start for the Hurricanes, who have points in each of the past four games (2-0-2). Brock McGinn is expected to return from an upper-body injury after missing the past seven games. The return of Eric Staal brings another head-to-head matchup with his brother, Jordan Staal. "It's fun. It's a different game when you see your brother on the other side," Jordan said. "When you start taking faceoffs against your brother, it's pretty neat. There's no question it's a different game." After coaching the brothers for most of two seasons, Bill Peters said Eric and Jordan have a lot in common on the ice. "They're similar players," Peters said. "They start with the puck a lot. They're both 6-foot-4, they're good on draws. If they get it in behind you, they're going to be heavy and grind you, and you're going to spend your shift possibly in the defensive zone." Carolina is 2-4-3 in the past nine games at home.
