Rod Brind'Amour has been medically cleared and will play -- albeit limited action -- in the Canes' final exhibition gameSunday against Nashville.
"He'll probably play just enough minutes to get a feel for the game," general manager Jim Rutherford said of the Canes' captain.
Brind'Amour had surgery Sept. 16 to repair a cartilage tear in his left knee. He has missed the Canes' first five preseason games and much of training camp.
