NHL
RYAN DZINGEL AND MAX MCCORMICK, CAROLINA HURRICANES
Three former Buckeyes are currently inside the NHL’s bubbles, and two of them are with the Hurricanes, who are set to play the New York Rangers in the opening game of the Stanley Cup Qualifiers at noon Saturday.

Dzingel, who scored 29 points in 64 games in his first season with the Hurricanes after finishing last season with the Columbus Blue Jackets, is on the bubble for a spot in the Hurricanes’ playoff forward rotation but was on their third line for their exhibition game against the Washington Capitals earlier this week. McCormick, who spent the regular season playing for the AHL’s Charlotte Checkers, isn’t expected to be in the lineup but is on the Hurricanes’ 31-man postseason roster.

MATT BARTKOWSKI, MINNESOTA WILD
Bartkowski, like McCormick with the Hurricanes, is on the Wild’s postseason roster but isn’t likely to see much playing time, if at all, in the playoffs. He did not see any regular-season playing time for the Wild, as he’s spent most of the past two years playing for the Wild’s AHL affiliate in Iowa.

Nevertheless, the veteran defenseman will be with the Wild as they begin their quest to make a postseason run on Sunday at 10:30 p.m., when they play the first game of their Stanley Cup Qualifiers series against the Vancouver Canucks.
