Days before the big game, the Canes will host Hall of Fame Night during the team's game on February 16 against the Canadiens. Former Goalie Cam Ward will be there to be celebrated as part of the inaugural class into the Hurricanes Hall of Fame. He will join Rod Brind'Amour, Ron Francis and Glen Wesley as players who have had their jerseys retired.

"It was a surprise. Obviously it was a huge honor, but I'm extremely thankful and humbled for. We're really looking forward to the 16th. It's really given my family an opportunity to all be in Raleigh, which I don't know if that's ever happened," said Ward.
The day after Hall of Fame Night Carolina Hurricanes Fan Fest is going to be held in downtown Raleigh.
The free event will run from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., rain or shine. ABC11 is a proud sponsor of the event.
