From TSN comes this news regarding the Carolina Hurricanes, Detroit’s opponent this evening in Raleigh (7 PM EST start on Bally Sports Detroit/Bally Sports South/97.1 FM):
The Hurricanes will await word on this morning's player tests, but at the moment the plan appears to be going with 10 forwards and 6 D skater-wise tonight, as I said yesterday, two short of a full lineup.

Ian Cole, Steven Lorentz, Jordan Staal and Andrei Svechnikov entered the protocol Tuesday, with the Hurricanes stating that the four will remain Minnesota for the time being. Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis are currently in Vancouver after entering the protocol there on Monday.
The Hurricanes became the fourth team to have at least one game postponed this season, one day after the Calgary Flames joined the Ottawa Senators and New York Islanders, who had games postponed last month.
