12.6_Canes_23_ProjectedLineup_16x9

ANAHEIM, CA. -The Carolina Hurricanes are expected to stick with the same lineup that earned them a victory Saturday in Los Angeles as they take on the Anaheim Ducks tonight.

Forward Teuvo Teravainen returned to action in the team's most recent win after missing 10 games due to an upper-body injury. #86 played 15:47 while skating alongside Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Andrei Svechnikov, registering two shots, one block and one takeaway.
To make room for his re-entrance, Derek Stepan became the healthy scratch up front. The veteran is expected to be out of the lineup again tonight.
Pyotr Kochetkov was the first goalie off the ice at the team's morning skate, likely signaling that he is in line for a second consecutive start. This would break from the alternating between he and Antti Raanta that has occurred since Raanta returned from a lower-body injury on Saturday, November 26.
Kochetkov stopped 31 out of 33 to earn his fifth win of the season Saturday over the Kings. The 23-year-old rookie has played in nine games thus far this season and the Canes have earned at least one point in eight of them.
Carolina's projected lineup for tonight's 10 p.m. EST puck drop is:
Forwards:
Jarvis - Aho - Necas
Svechnikov - Kotkaniemi - Teravainen
