Playoff trips have Hurricanes aiming for growth, deeper run The Carolina Hurricanes must look at what changes will carry them deeper into the postseason after two straight trips

Nearing return Pesce (shoulder) could have played in the conference finals if the Hurricanes had advanced, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Pesce missed the final 15 games of the Hurricanes' season due to his shoulder issue. In 61 outings this year, the 24-year-old blueliner notched four goals and 14 helpers. Based on the timeline announced by the team, Pesce should be good to go for the 2020-21 campaign and should log plenty of minutes as a top-four defenseman.

Impact Pesce, who's recovering from shoulder surgery, isn't expected to be cleared for contact until the end of August, so Carolina will need to make a deep run in the playoffs in order for him to have a chance to return this year. The 25-year-old blueliner notched 18 points in 61 games during the regular season.

Likely unavailable for playoffs According to general manager Don Waddel, Pesce (shoulder) probably won't be cleared for contact until the end of August, which means the 25-year-old blueliner likely won't be avail...

Impact There was a slight chance that Pesce would be able to return for postseason play after undergoing shoulder surgery in March, but it appears as though Carolina is leaning toward playing it safe with the American blueliner. Although the Hurricanes are extremely deep at defense, they'll still undoubtedly be affected by Pesce's absence. The 25-year-old blueliner notched 18 points while averaging nearly 22 minutes of ice time per contest in 61 games during the regular season, and he was also one of Carolina's most important penalty killers, averaging 3:16 of ice time per contest while a man down this year.
