Hurricanes lineup today: Carolina's projected lineup for game against Anaheim Ducks | March 23, 2025

The Carolina Hurricanes will wrap up a four-game road trip on Sunday when they take on the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center. Carolina was blown out 7-2 in LA on Saturday, while Anaheim picked up a 4-1 win in Nashville on Thursday.

The Hurricanes (42-23-4) were red-hot, winners of eight consecutive games before the shocking loss to the Kings. With 88 points, they are almost assured of the second seed in the Metropolitan division.

Meanwhile, the Ducks (30-31-8) are sixth in the Pacific division with 68 points, although they are 11 points out of a wild-card spot in the Western Conference.

Carolina is dealing with plenty of injury issues. Forwards William Carrier (lower body) and Jesper Fast (neck) both remain out long-term. Andrei Svechnikov (upper body) has missed five consecutive games and is day-to-day. Jordan Staal (upper body) and Shayne Gostisbehere (illness) were surprise scratches on Saturday but could return against Anaheim. Star forward Seth Jarvis (undisclosed) went crashing into the boards during the third period in LA and should be considered doubtful for Sunday's game.
