The Carolina Hurricanes submitted their roster to the league office but they sent defenseman Ryan Murphy to the AHL to get under the salary and are expected to bring him back prior to the opener. Defenseman Joni Pitkanen is expected to go on LTIR. The players on the roster are as follows with possible line combinations and defensive pairings on opening night. Some Hurricanes are injured and day to day so the lineup is subject to change because of that. Lines may also be switched up by head coach Kirk Muller. Format is left wing/center/right wing and Lines 1-4 but it is very subject to change: Jiri Tlusty/Eric Staal/Alex Semin Jeff Skinner/Jordan Staal/Nathan Gerbe Tuomo Ruutu/Elias Lindholm/Patrick Dwyer Drayson Bowman/Riley Nash/Brett Sutter 13th forward Kevin Westgarth Defenseman Pairings: Justin Faulk/Andrej Sekera Ron Hainsey/Tim Gleason Ryan Murphy/Jay Harrison 7th defenseman Mike Komisarek, 8th defenseman Brett Bellemore. Matthew Corrente is still on the roster but Ryan Murphy is expected to be brought back up to the NHL. Goaltenders: Cam Ward/Anton Khudobin
