RALEIGH, N.C. – Nikolaj Ehlers and K’Andre Miller will make their Carolina Hurricanes regular-season debuts on Thursday against the New Jersey Devils.<\/p>\n

This summer’s splash acquisitions, signed for six and eight years, respectively, are expected to feature in prominent roles tonight, with Ehlers working alongside Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis at five-on-five. Additionally, that trio has operated in unison on the team’s first power play unit, while Miller has served as one of the two defensemen on the team’s second power play unit.<\/p>\n

Behind the cast of skaters, Frederik Andersen is expected to be in net this evening. Andersen, 36, begins his 13th NHL season and his fifth with the Canes.<\/p>\n

Since the start of the 2021-22 campaign, he has gone 82-35-5 with the team, carrying a 2.27 goals against average and a .915 save percentage. Respectively, those rank first and tied for sixth among all NHL goaltenders who have played at least 100 games during that time.<\/p>\n

Newcomer Brandon Bussi, who was claimed off waivers<\/a> from the Florida Panthers on Sunday and joined the team on Wednesday, will back up Andersen. Rod Brind’Amour shared pre-game that Pyotr Kochetkov is unavailable tonight due to injury and will be re-evaluated tomorrow.<\/p>\n
