As expected, #Isles Kyle MacLean will make his #NHL debut tonight, taking his rookie lap before his teammates joined him on the ice. A special moment for Kyle, who has grinded to make it to the NHL. A special moment for his father, John MacLean, too. https://t.co/4fImbFe3dL

Rod Brind’Amour says he doesn’t know a whole lot about Spencer Martin and how the team plans to utilize him yet, but he did confirm that Yaniv Perets will still back up Antti Raanta tonight. Martin Necas will return after missing five games with an upper-body injury. https://t.co/ONhrAoNVmL

While Kyle MacLean will be garnering all the attention Friday night in Chicago as he laces up the skates for his first #NHL game, a matchup with the #Blackhawks may mean a little something extra to #Isles Hudson Fasching @TheHockeyNews https://t.co/Q5ji1dZ0VD

No morning skate today for the #Canes ahead of their matchup versus the Red Wings. Based on what we've seen at practice the last two days, I suspect Martin Necas (upper-body injury) will play for the first time since January 2. In net, I think we'll see Antti Raanta. https://t.co/9q88wo7i0v
Good morning peeps. #Isles will skate later this morning ahead of 8:30 PM ET battle with #Blackhawks, who were shut out 3-0 by #LetsGoBuffalo last night. Kyle MacLean #NHL debut likely coming.

He spoke on how excited he was for Friday night so despite he and Wahlstrom taking rushes as 4C, think it’s clear MacLean will make #NHL debut. #Isles https://t.co/fMUXMg0mU9
#Isles assistant coach John MacLean on his son Kyle, 24, who will make his NHL debut tomorrow against Chicago: "I was a first-round pick and it worked out for me. You get extra looks. Kyle didn't get extra looks. He had to keep working. He had to keep going and he enjoyed it."
