Status report
The Hurricanes did not hold a morning skate following a 4-3 overtime win against the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday. … Teravainen will be a game-time decision, coach Rod Brind'Amour said; the forward has missed four games. If Teravainen plays, Carolina could go back to using 12 forwards and six defensemen with DeAngelo coming out. … Kuznetsov plays his first game in Washington since being traded from the Capitals to the Hurricanes on March 8. … Capitals forward Tom Wilson will have an in-person hearing via Zoom with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Friday for high-sticking Toronto Maple Leafs forward Noah Gregor in a 7-3 loss Wednesday. … Washington recalled Phillips from Hershey of the American Hockey League. … Kuemper will start after Lindgren had started the past four games.
