At 11:27 in the first period, it appeared Eric Staal scored, but the horn was cut short when it was ruled that Hurricanes defenseman Andrew Alberts had passed with his hands. The Hurricanes showed off their new scoreboard before the game, showing a recap of last year's playoff run as fans filed into the RBC Center. No changes to the lines, but defenseman Jay Harrison is taking the spot of Joni Pitkanen, who will fly to Boston for tomorrow's game, but may not play until Tuesday's home game against Tampa Bay. Here are the Canes' lines: Ray Whitney, Eric Staal, Erik Cole Tuomo Ruutu, Matt Cullen, Jussi Jokinen Chad LaRose, Rod Brind'Amour, Sergei Samsonov Scott Walker, Stephane Yelle, Tom Kostopoulos

The defenseman was told he was too valuable, that the team needed him on the ice. And especially on the penalty kill. So what does Gleason do in the opener? He never hesitated in going after the...
