The Carolina Hurricanes close out a five-game homestand with their second of four straight match-ups against the Tampa Bay Lightning.


The Match-Up

Tampa Bay Lightning (10-4-1, 21 points) vs. Carolina Hurricanes (12-3-1, 25 points)

Monday, Feb. 22, 7 p.m.

Watch: FOX Sports Carolinas, FOX Sports GO

Listen: 99.9 FM The Fan, Hurricanes.com/Listen, Hurricanes app

Numbers to Know

12-3-1: At 12-3-1 (25 points), the Canes have matched the franchise-best start through 16 games. You can probably guess which season it was (2005-06), and we all know how that season ended.

16: Three players - Trocheck, Andrei Svechnikov and Sebastian Aho - are tied for the team lead in points. All three players found the scoresheet on Saturday, and Svechnikov (1g, 1a) and Aho (1g, 1a) had multi-point performances.

2: The Lightning were not shut out once during their 70-game 2019-20 regular season and their 25-game run to the Stanley Cup. They've already been shut out twice in 15 games this season, both by the Canes.

1: Teuvo Teravainen missed Saturday's game with an upper-body injury. After the game, Brind'Amour provided this update on Teravainen's injury: "I'm hoping it's not going to be too long, but it's going to be a couple games for sure."

Honestly, after the shutout, I wanted to see Ned get the start tonight. But, oh well, King Of The Autobots it is.

True but they were hawking him on the behind the net stuff pretty good last game. Half a step more and they would have gotten a couple on an empty net. Think its good to keep them guessing this series.

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By CRA · Posted

      I'll be honest.  I'm not sure I want to see any those guys returning right now given what others are presently doing.... minus Coker.  Hubbard returning likely messes the run game up (I mean, it's going to come down regardless but he still), Tremble and Evans actually are doing well, Corbett seems to make us worse up front, and the D has made some strides.  I'd like to just keep that whole lot on the shelf this week.

      Ikem Ekwonu is slated to GET PAID

      By Basbear · Posted

      I don't think people know that Icky is still only 25 years old. Panthers signed UDFAs older this year and drafted DJ Johnson. Heres a fact, a deep fact.... Its easier(much) to find a good-great QB than good-great LT. Another fact there's only 12-15 true LTs and the others are larping as LT.  SO....(I'm not a fan btw)......you nearly must resign him at all cost even with him being around the 12th best at times. Its the hardest spot to fill and he's still awful young with 4 years as a pro. Carolina already got 4 years of "cheap" service as well, that's invested time and effort.  The fan-side of me hopes he signs some top 5 at best top 3 big money deal. Just the cap keeps growing and LTs, young LT with experience are rrrrrrare and unique. Tag him if needed and tag him again, then trade him. I think he enjoys being/living in NC.  I hope he's stays on a team friendly deal, but those are soooo rare these days.  Only two options- pay him whatever, even if it's top $$$$$(uggggghhhh..) or tag him for 2027 and keep trying to pay. Worst outcome is trading him for couple 1s, 3s, and 5th maybe a player too.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By CRA · Posted

      I always loved DJ Moore.  I don't see him wanting to comeback here.  He seems to be tired of inconsistent QB play and you finally see that bubbling over in Chicago.  or maybe he just doesn't like the people.  He actually seemed fine with Fields.....and lobbied for them not to draft Caleb.  So maybe it's just a Caleb issue (and I think Caleb might have tons of baggage/issues that rub folks wrong)
