Nikolaj Ehlers chose the Carolina Hurricanes in free agency. He’s settling in during preseason camp

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Nikolaj Ehlers knows what awaits.
The forward was a sought-after free agent who chose to sign with the Carolina Hurricanes, a team that has made seven straight postseason trips while becoming a perennial Eastern Conference contender for the Stanley Cup. And that brings a spotlight on his transition with a team still trying to punch its way through to the Cup final for the first time since 2006.
“The expectations are as high as I know they should be," Ehlers said.
