Rod Brind'Amour says Pyotr Kochetkov (lower-body injury) will be out for at least a week.

The head coach hopes the goalie can travel on the team's six-game road trip that starts Monday, but also expressed confidence in Brandon Bussi if the team needs him to play.

Run it back!

No surprises at #Canes morning skate today. They're set to use the same lineup tonight against Philadelphia that earned them a season-opening victory over New Jersey on Thursday.

Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis
Svechnikov - Stankoven - Blake

Hall - Kotkaniemi (1/2)

Jankowski and Mike Reilly put some pucks onto Brandon Bussi. (2/2)

Following their season-opening victory, it's an optional skate for the #Canes today.

That's noteworthy in itself. We haven't seen a ton of those under Rod Brind'Amour the last few years until spring rolls around.

With that being said, it's just last night's extras on the ice, as Mark (1/2)

It's Friday.
The #Canes are 1-0.
They're at home again tomorrow against a divisional opponent.

Let's go, y'all.

Offseason surgery. New team. No preseason games.

Tonight worked out just fine for K'Andre Miller.

"Once I got adjusted and found the speed of the game, I felt great. It was fun."

"I thought he was exceptional. Take the goals away, even, he was impactful. He hadn't played a game for how many months? He stepped right in and looked like he hadn't missed a beat. Obviously, we're pretty excited to have him."

Unofficially, the #Canes hit seven posts tonight.

Rod Brind'Amour appreciated his group not getting dejected.

"I love the fact that we didn't hang our heads. Even when they kept tying it up, and we're playing pretty well and had plenty of chances, we just kept moving forward."

W!

Thanks to a pair of goals from both K'Andre Miller and Seth Jarvis, the #Canes open their season with a 6-3 win over the New Jersey Devils.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 1d

One more for good measure!

Eric Robinson makes it a 6-3 game with 12.6 seconds left on the clock.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 1d

Seth Jarvis now hits the empty net, and that should do it!

The #Canes go up 5-3 with under a minute to go.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 1d

Excellent vision and quick decision-making from Aho.

Brett Pesce couldn't tie up Jarvis fast enough.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 1d

Seth Jarvis puts the #Canes ahead with 2:43 to go!

Sebastian Aho hits him in front and #24 tips it home.

4-3!

Lenovo Center was buzzing after K'Andre Miller's second marker of the night.

That was an important one to get, all things considered.

New Jersey responds, and we're tied once again.

Jesper Bratt makes it a 3-3 game with 8:22 on the clock.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 1d

An absolute bomb.

Sure, Jacob Markstrom wants to have that one, but we don't care about that right now.

What a debut for #19.

Oh baby, K'Andre Miller's got his second goal as a Hurricane!

This one's a third-period, go-ahead, power play goal.

3-2!

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 1d

For a guy who didn't play in the preseason, tonight has looked like business as usual for Jaccob Slavin.

He's credited with three blocks and one takeaway, but it feels like he's had more of both.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 1d

40 minutes down, 20 (or more) to go. 2-2.

A much more evenly contested period, and as a result, we're tied.

Jackson Blake has five shots thus far, already tied for the second most in a single game in his career.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 1d

Oh my, Cody Glass.

The former Portland Winterhawk walks in with Connor Brown on a two-on-one and picks his spot.

It's 2-2 with 6:06 remaining in the second.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 1d

Similar to the first Carolina goal, New Jersey wins a d-zone draw, but the wingers get in on the defenders and win the battle.

Give Will Carrier credit this time around.

Miller doesn't get much on the shot, but it finds its way past Markstrom regardless.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 1d

The #Canes answer right back!

It looks like K'Andre Miller has his first goal in his first game with the team.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 1d

New Jersey ties it up at 1-1 with 11:45 to go in the second.

Just seconds after Carolina couldn't convert on a power play attempt, Dougie Hamilton gets a backhand bid to go.
