Carolina Hurricanes Projected Lineup for March 31 Game vs Columbus

The Carolina Hurricanes are gearing up for an exciting matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets, with forward Seth Jarvis carrying a six-game point streak. After hitting the 30-goal mark for the third consecutive season, the 2020 first-round pick has been on fire, notching nine points in his last six games. Brandon Bussi is set to start in goal tonight, aiming for his third straight win and his 35th start of the season.

The Hurricanes’ offensive power was on full display in their last game against Montreal, where they generated an impressive 100 shot attempts. Tonight’s lineup is packed with talent, featuring players like Andrei Svechnikov, Sebastian Aho, and Jarvis up front, supported by a solid defensive lineup led by Jaccob Slavin and Jack Walker.

Unfortunately, the Hurricanes will be missing Pyotr Kochetkov due to hip surgery, and Nicolas Deslauriers, Jesperi Kotkaniemi, and Mike Reilly are listed as scratches for tonight’s game.

The power play units are set with Aho, Ehlers, Jarvis, and Svechnikov leading the charge on PP1, while Jordan Staal has been dominating faceoffs and making seamless changes to keep the pressure on.
