It's Poulin time

Nabakov gets the night off while Kevin Poulin makes the start tonight in Uniondale. Poulin is 6-6-1 with 2 of those wins vs the Hurricanes. Radek Martinek will also make his season debut tonight with Joe Finley not in  the lineup. 

For the Hurricanes, Jeff Skinner skated today wearing a non-contact jersey, he is will likely not play tonight after suffering a concussion recently, his 2nd one in two years, he did however say he is feeling much better so I guess we will see tonight if he plays.

Also around the league I noticed today is Alexei Kovalev's 40th birthday. So Happy Birthday to Alex from the Florida Panthers, you will be scratched in tonights game.
