Pesce missed the Hurricanes’ morning skate and is listed as a game-time decision for tonight’s game. If Pesce can’t play, expect Matt Tennyson to skate with Jaccob Slavin and for Klas Dahlbeck to draw into the lineup.

There is no word as to what is ailing Pesce, but head coach Bill Peters said that Pesce will be a game-time decision tonight. If Pesce can't play, Ryan Murphy will replace him in the lineup.

Pesce suffered a lower-body injury last Tuesday and is not ready to go, so he’s been placed on IR. With Pesce still sidelined, the Hurricanes have recalled Ryan Murphy from Charlotte (AHL).
