Coach Maurice: Starting off the road trip with a win/play of Laine line. Did he like the way they played over 60 minutes? Did he feel like they did a good job keeping the Hurricanes to the outside? Play of Chairot/Morrow. What faceoff success can do for the team. Preparing for Staal. Playing Myers/Kulikov with the Scheifele line.
