David Rittich may take the starting position after Ilya Sorokin’s last performance, where he made 17 saves in a disappointing 4-1 defeat to the Philadelphia Flyers. In contrast, the Hurricanes are expected to deploy the same lineup that led them to a commanding 5-1 victory against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
