Martin is expected to start on the road against Florida in Saturday's preseason game, per David Dwork of The Hockey News.
Martin had a 7-9-2 record, 3.30 GAA and .889 save percentage in 19 regular-season games between Columbus and Carolina in 2023-24. He might start the upcoming campaign on the Hurricanes' roster but is in the awkward position of potentially being the No. 3 netminder behind Pyotr Kochetkov and Frederik Andersen.
