The Hurricanes continue to rotate through seventh defensemen, with rookie Brett Pesce getting the call today to join the team as they head to California.
After taking his turn as the Hurricanes’ seventh defenseman in Colorado on Wednesday, Rasmus Rissanen is set to rejoin the Checkers on their own road trip.
