Despite the Hurricanes being a deep team up front, Pacioretty was the firepower they have been needing. A top-notch finisher in this league is exactly what the team needed.

Rod Brind\u2019Amour is one of the best coaches in this league, and this team looks the same as it did last season.<\/p>\n<h3>Who Needs To Step Up<\/h3>\n<p>Max Pacioretty is sidelined with an injury. The Hurricanes will look within for someone to step in his place. Based on the constructed roster, the team will look for players such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/kotkaje01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jesperi Kotkaniemi<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/n\/necasma01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Martin Necas<\/a> to step up.
