Ahead of a Friday-Saturday home-road back-to-back set against the Capitals and Flyers, the #Canes are practicing at Lane Arena. Pyotr Kochetkov is operating in the crease usually held by the next day's starting goalie. We'll find out around 2 p.m. if Cayden Primeau clears waivers and makes it to Chicago (AHL). Seth Jarvis remains working in his yellow, no-contact sweater.

Much of the top group from camp is on the ice first this morning. Reilly and Valimaki, who played last night, are not, with Montgomery and Seeley in their place. Kotkaniemi is with this group despite playing last night.
