Nikolaj Ehlers said it best after Game 5 when I asked him about the confidence of the team heading into Game 6: “It’s huge, obviously. It’s going to be really hard. It’s going to be a really tough game. But we’re excited for it; we’re ready for it. This team has been working all year for moments like these, and especially this moment. So, we’re excited.”

Tomorrow is the opportunity of a lifetime for the #Canes. Rod Brind'Amour knows his group will be focused.

Gotta appreciate a Jonny redemption arc along with how much of a family this Hurricanes team is. Rod said it back in December how badly he wants this team to win a Cup so they can be celebrated like the 2006 team was during the 20th Anniversary celebration.

Got a little redemption thanks to Rod. He continued to talk about how much of a family the @Canes have: “Those guys are family forever. I love seeing those guys involved in it — because they’re a huge part of this.”

The fact that Nikolaj Ehlers still has five more years on his deal is some great work. I still believe that his $8.5M per season is beyond a steal for what he's worth.

Regarding his net for tomorrow's Game 6 in Vegas, Rod Brind'Amour once again says, "Everyone is available." Specifically about Frederik Andersen, he mentioned all three options are on the table: starting him, having him back up, or not dressing him.

After winning the last two games to be up 3-2 in the Stanley Cup Final, I figured we wouldn't see any changes to the lines. The way Brandon Bussi is playing, you'd have to think he starts tomorrow night in Game 6. But, we shall see when the puck drops in Vegas.

With Frederik Andersen rotating in as the third goalie, the #Canes have their full cast for today's practice in Morrisville. Brandon Bussi remains operating in the usual day before starter's crease. Pyotr Kochetkov is at the opposite end of the ice. Ehlers - Staal - Jarvis Hall - Stankoven - Blake Svechnikov - Aho - Martinook Carrier - Jankowski - Robinson Deslauriers - Kotkaniemi Slavin - Chatfield Miller - Walker Gostisbehere - Nikishin Reilly Bussi | Kochetkov | Andersen

Ahead of an afternoon flight to Vegas, the #Canes are scheduled to skate at Invisalign Arena, starting at 10:30 a.m. The first player on the ice today is Frederik Andersen, going through his usual pre-practice routine with Goaltending Coach Paul Schonfelder.
