RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – Members of the Carolina Hurricanes have returned to their home ice at PNC Arena as the team began voluntary training sessions amid the second phase of the NHL’s return plan.  In a video conference with reporters, captain Jordan Staal said the players went through safety protocols that included wearing a mask and getting a temperature check when arriving at the arena, as well as “keeping your distance as best you can.”  The team had announced last week that roughly 16 players were expected to participate, divided into two groups, with workouts closed to the public and media.
