Jesse Puljujarvi Set For Hurricanes Debut Saturday
2 years agoCarolina Hurricanes right wing Jesse Puljujarvi is expected to make his team debut Saturday against Vegas. He was picked up from Edmonton with a trade on Feb. 28, but Puljujarvi ran into some visa issues and he only joined the team just a few days ago. Derek Stepan is coming out of the lineup to make room for Puljujarvi. The Finnish winger tallied only 14 points in 58 games with the Oilers this season, so he won't have to do a lot to have a better time in Carolina. He starts off as a bottom-six forward for the Hurricanes, but Puljujarvi is slated to skate with the second power-play unit Saturday and could get some ice time on scoring lines soon as well.
