There is some important new information involving Max Pacioretty with the Carolina Hurricanes. The latter, who was acquired during the summer by the Canes, would be very close to a return to the game. This is a spectacular turn of events, as the former number 67 of the Habs was expected to miss almost the entire season due to a torn Achilles tendon last off-season. His addition to head coach Rod Brind'Amour's lineup will be a major one, as the team is already running at full speed this season, as Carolina is in first place in the Metropolitan Division with a 22-6-6 record after 34 games. The American forward finished last season with 19 goals and 37 points in 39 games. Need I remind you that the Hurricanes acquired Pacioretty completely free of charge? Carolina will be taken seriously during the playoffs. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/TVASports/status/1607769132744994816?s=20&t=FVrFVi7MRzEu5swFHWacOA'> </a></blockquote></div>
