Tim Donnelly says Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales emphasized familiarity when rounding out his coaching staff, which is a correction from the previous staff with Frank Reich where owner David Tepper had influence on the coaching staff.

Tim Donnelly says the Carolina Hurricanes earned two strong wins on the road over the Arizona Coyotes and Vegas Golden Knights, even with questions about the future in goal with Frederick Andersen working his way back from blood clots, Antti Raanta out with a lower body injury, Pyotr Kochetkov playing strong, and Spencer Martin earning wins in two starts this season.
