Hurricanes Start Season With 5-3 Win Over Senators
October 12, 2023 by Zach Martin
The 2023-24 regular season has finally started for the Carolina Hurricanes. On Wednesday, Oct. 11 the Hurricanes hosted the Ottawa Senators at PNC Arena to kick off the new season. Coming into the game it was not clear if the Hurricanes would go with 12 forwards and six defensemen or the rare 11-7 setup. In the end, Carolina played with seven defensemen on opening night with Brendan Lemieux as the healthy scratch. After the team was announced and the puck was dropped, the game between the Hurricanes and the Senators was what someone would describe as a show for the ages. Carolina won the game 5-3, but how did they get there?
Hurricanes’ Teravainen Shakes Off Last Year’s Struggles in Game 1

On Friday morning, Oct. 6 before the final preseason game for the Carolina Hurricanes, the lines were announced that could potentially be formed that night. The lines included a heavy NHL regular roster with the exception of one prospect in Yaniv Perets. Other than that, the lines look like the potential opening night roster that Carolina could go into opening night on Wednesday, Oct. 11. However, Andrei Svechnikov will not play in the final preseason game due to still being in the no-contact yellow jersey. Nonetheless, it begs the question, will this be the potential opening night roster going into the first game of the regular season?
