Status report
Kochetkov, a goalie, will be evaluated on Friday. Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour said he did not feel right in practice recently and he has not gotten any better. … Ehlers and Miller will be making their Hurricanes debuts. Ehlers signed a six-year contract as a free agent on July 3, and Miller was acquired in a trade with the New York Rangers on July 1 before signing an eight-year contract. Pesce and Luke Hughes will each be in the lineup. Pesce had been dealing with an undisclosed injury, and Hughes did not play during the preseason after signing an eight-year contract on Oct. 1.
