Teravainen returns for Game 1 vs. Panthers
Carolina Hurricanes forward Teuvo Teravainen returned to the lineup for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Florida Panthers on Thursday.
Teravainen had been sidelined with a broken hand since Game 2 of the opening round against the New York Islanders. He was slashed by Jean-Gabriel Pageau, who wasn't penalized.
Carolina went 6-2 without Teravainen, eliminating the Islanders in Game 6 before taking care of the New Jersey Devils in five.
Here's how the club lined up for Thursday's series opener:
