WINNIPEG, Man. – The Carolina Hurricanes, winners of six in a row, will have two (sort of) new faces in their lineup on Saturday when they begin their State Fair road trip against the Winnipeg Jets.<\/p>\n

Bradly Nadeau\u00a0and Felix Unger Sorum, both recalled from Chicago (AHL) this week following injuries to Taylor Hall (upper-body) and Jordan Staal (calf tear), are expected to play their 16th and second NHL games, respectively.<\/p>\n

Nadeau skated in Hall’s spot at Friday’s practice, while Unger Sorum operated to the right of Eric Robinson and Jesperi Kotkaniemi.<\/p>\n

“We know what they’re capable of doing. [They should] play their game, not do too much, and let the game come to them,” Rod Brind’Amour told the media pre-game. “Then, when their skills have the opportunity to make those plays that they can make, make them.”<\/p>\n

Behind them, Pyotr Kochetkov was in the net typically occupied by the next day’s starting goalie yesterday. A flawless 4-0 on the season, he became just the fourth goalie in team history (since relocation) to win his first four starts of a season, joining Frederik Andersen (8 GP in 2021-22), James Reimer (4 GP in 2020-21), and Petr Mrazek (4 GP in 2019-20).<\/p>\n

See if the Canes can pick up their seventh win in a row at 3:30 p.m. ET on Hurricanes Hockey Network.<\/a><\/p>\n
