Nic Deslauriers is the healthy extra up front. Charles Alexis Legault was assigned to Chicago (AHL) a few moments ago.

And the new fourth line ... is on the ice for a penalty. Legault to the box.

@WaltRuff · 10/1

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.
