The Carolina Hurricanes had a big shakeup to their roster last night, adding superstar winger Mikko Rantanen and forward Taylor Hall in exchange for Martin Necas and Jack Drury. The two forward made their way to New York today and are in the lineup for the Canes' 7:30 game against the New York Islanders.

According to Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News, Carolina Hurricanes center Sebastian Aho (illness) was unable to participate in the morning skate and is questionable for Thursday's contest against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Well it looks like Carolina Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour is giving rookie Jackson Blake a shot to make his mark as he's seemingly been moved up to the team's top line before Carolina's Friday night match against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Jaccob Slavin (1g, 1a) has points in back-to-back games. Jordan Staal will play in his 1,300th NHL game tonight, becoming the 74th player in league history to reach that milestone and the first from the 2006 draft class. Staal is also two points shy of 700 career points.

For one, Brind’Amour is pairing his two best players by putting them on a line together. Aho has led the Hurricanes in scoring in six of the last seven seasons, and Rantanen was a superstar in Colorado, logging more minutes than any forward in the league since the start of the 2021-22 season.

The former North Dakota star, who played 40 games in college last season, is approaching 50 in his first pro season.
