I've heard 2 names: Klinsberg and Giordana. Only in the last few days has Seattle GM Ron Francis stated he'll likely move the 38-year old captain before the 3/21 deadline. But TDA will probably be back before then. Klinsberg is available right now, but Toronto just passed when Dallas wanted a top prospect and a 1st rounder and he's carrying a $4.25M cap number.

Being reported Tony D has a midsection injury that will sideline him for about a month. Meanwhile Jalen Chatfield is on the roster.

Pesce with the most TOI in his career and playing w/4 defenseman the last 6 minutes of regulation still has gas in the tank!

I missed TDA- what's up?

Philly has nothing to lose and they're playing loose and are well aware the Canes just played 24 hours ago.

Looked a lot worse because the player's head hit his teammate's and snapped back. Nonetheless, refs got their eyes on Svech.

2 shots..... 2...... shots....... Looks like back-to-back blahs......

Svech with another penalty. Fug... the guy can play physical, but he's gotta earn how to do it within the rules. First 3 PKs yesterday, the Canes allowed ZERO shots on goal.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm working today.... 3PM!?!? Last Time Out: The Canes claimed sole possession of the Metropolitan Division Sunday, holding on for a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Carolina scored exactly nine seconds into both the second and third periods, becoming the first team in NHL history to do so. Antti Raanta made 31 saves on the way to his 100th National Hockey League win. Freddie In Philly: After Raanta got the start Sunday in the Steel City, it would appear that Frederik Andersen will be in the visitors net this afternoon. Post-game Brind'Amour cited it as a way for his All-Star netminder to get an extra day of rest, after he made 28 stops on 31 shots in Friday's win over Nashville. Banged Up Bodies: Speaking of the victory over Nashville, in that game it was Seth Jarvis who entered as questionable with a lower-body injury. He would go on to play. Sunday in Pittsburgh it was Vincent Trocheck who was a game-time decision with an upper-body injury. He, too, would go on to play. Today the status of Brendan Smith remains up in the air after he left Sunday's victory with an upper-body injury. "Smitty" blocked a shot up high, ending his night after just 2:51 of ice time. Good On The Road: The Canes are 17-7-2 away from PNC Arena this season. 17 wins in that department ties them with Pittsburgh for the most in the NHL. Take Advantage, Turbo: With an assist on Sebastian Aho's power play goal Sunday afternoon, Teuvo Teravainen now has points in five straight games. In addition to producing the last few contests, #86 also has power play setups in eight of his last ten games played. Finish Strong: This is the Canes eighth of 14 back-to-back sets this season. While they're now 6-1-1 in the opening half, they're a much more average 3-3-1 so far in game number twos. ADDITIONAL NOTES: Milestone Watch: Derek Stepan is one point shy of 500 for his NHL career. Teravainen needs one more point for 300 as a member of the organization. What Are We Wearing?: The team will be wearing their white sweaters today. -------------------------------------- Smith took that shot right behind his ear hole and he may miss a couple games. Although I've not seen anything to suggest it, he may be in concussion protocol too. Getting hit like that can mess with the inner ear and cause some equilibrium problems. Hope he's okay.

Too many empty net icing calls. Giving teams an offensive zone face-off with a .an-advantage. I know RBA says he has no problem with it, but come on. A man down, O-zone face-off and you can't change. Given up 3 goals in the last 2 games as a result.

Exhaling now.. Raanta going for win 100 give him some extra juice today?

Here we fugging go again.

Playing more like the 1st period now. 9 seconds.. 9 seconds

That's probably game. Raanta will probably give up 2-3 in the third because Carolina can't keep the puck out of the D zone.

Who's wearing Raanta's uni?

Conceding a game for first place. Anderson was very slow during the late minutes of the Nashville game. Maybe he's gassed.

Last Time Out: Despite allowing two goals to Nashville with the extra attacker on Friday night, the Carolina Hurricanes were the better team in a 5-3 victory over Nashville on Friday. Andrei Svechnikov paved the way with a three point performance, bringing his recent tear to 21 points in his last 14 games. Frederik Andersen made 28 stops along the way for Carolina, earning his 26th win of the year. We Meet Again: The Canes are 48 games into their 82-game season and have yet to take on the Penguins, despite being in the same division. This means that the two sides will get together four times in the final 34 games, each with valuable points on the line for playoff positioning. Pittsburgh has made quite a nice year for themselves, especially given that both superstars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have missed time due to injuries. On top of those two being out for extended periods of time, several other key pieces missed time due to COVID-19. Trocheck TBD: After departing Friday night's victory with an upper-body injury after one period of play, Vincent Trocheck's status remains up in the air for today's battle. A Pittsburgh native, the right-handed center was being evaluated yesterday morning as the team practiced at Wake Competition Center and following the skate Rod Brind'Amour said that he was unsure if Trocheck would be traveling with the team on the trip. The head coach is expected to speak with the media at 10:45 a.m. to share more info. Next Man Up: When Trocheck came out the lineup Friday, Jesperi Kotkaniemi was offered perhaps his biggest opportunity as a member of the Canes, sliding up to center Steven Lorentz and Martin Necas on the second line. "KK" would go on to lead all Carolina forwards in ice time and received some strong compliments post-game from his head coach. Brind'Amour said that he thought 21-year-old did well in the spot and kept him in that same position at Saturday's practice. Derek Stepan slid into the fourth line, centering Seth Jarvis and Jordan Martinook. Skjeisy Baby: After opening the scoring against Nashville Friday, Brady Skjei became the first defenseman to record six goals since the turn of the calendar year. 700 For Nino: Nino Niederreiter is expected to play in his 700th National Hockey League game today. It will be his 202nd as a Hurricane. The former first round pick has totaled 348 points in the league and is currently on pace for a career-high 28 goals this season. ADDITIONAL NOTES: Milestone Watch: Antti Raanta is one win shy of 100 in his NHL career. Derek Stepan is one point shy of 500 for his NHL career. What Are We Wearing?: The team will be wearing their white sweaters today.

See what can happen when you don't need to depend on an O-line and a moron head coach?

Fug.....

Another poo production night. 1-2-1 since the break?

His attitude is infectious. He brought physicality and the rest of the team is taking it on.

Meh... he's at $1M now, a bargain for sure. But it's not like he'll jump to 8.

"Lorenzen"??? Really?

TNT... maybe I'll try ESPN+

No TV tonight?
