Chrystal Rowe, general manager for the Durham Bulls, said she hopes the Cup will help fans bring the energy on Tuesday to give the team a boost during a crucial streak.
"Hopefully the Bulls continue their streak and can potentially have a second-half win and push to the playoffs. We’re in it, so we need fans to kind of rally behind and cheer on the team and kind of keep winning at home to get us into that second half playoff spot," she said.
The event marks the Stanley Cup's first appearance at Durham Bulls Athletic Park in 20 years.
Staff said Martinook lost his specialty Bulls jersey during the Stanley Cup Championship Parade after he went "tarps off," so he might be able to get a replacement Tuesday.
There are still some seats available as of Tuesday morning. Tickets start at $13 and can be purchased through Ticketmaster.
If you can’t make it to Tuesday's game, you can still celebrate the Canes during Hockey Night at the DBAP on September 12. There, you’ll be able to buy a specialty Bulls jersey that includes a nod to the Canes.
