No official word but all indications are, yes. We've been resting 1 forward (Hall, Staal, Martinook) a game for a while now, wouldn't surprise me if it were 4 resting and maybe also a D on Wednesday. Would need to call up a couple replacements to make that happen though; not that many healthy scratches right now but we'll see if that happens tomorrow.

As (I did at least) expected, callups on the way (meeting us in MTL?):

Yeah, no shock there. There are some extra bodies in Chicago anyway, and the Canes are absolutely in "don't do anything stupid" mode. These last two games will look a lot like the last game in the regular season last year.

I'm seeing more and more skepticism online that Nikishin will get his visas sorted in time to join the Canes in Canada, so the focus there is shifting towards getting him a couple of games with the Wolves. Makes sense, as it's past midday on Tuesday and he'd have needed to be on a plane this afternoon to have any chance to meet the team in Montreal. Also, with the timing, I'd say his chances of playing in the playoffs ride exclusively on the health of the Top 6 ... specifically, Ghost's back. If Ghost can't go or is limited, THEN you might think about taking a swing with Boom on the third pair. If for no other reason than it would be ridiculous to go into the post season with Burns on PP1 knowing full well how futile that would be.
