Earlier this week, Hurricanes GM Eric Tulsky addressed local media, discussing rookie defenseman Alexander Nikishin, whose entry-level deal expires this summer. While negotiations have taken place, the focus will remain on the playoffs, making an extension unlikely in the short term. Nikishin enjoyed a strong rookie season with 11 goals and 22 assists over 81 games. Additionally, Carolina’s second line has excelled in the playoffs, contributing significantly to a 3-0 series lead against Ottawa.
