"Winners of five games in a row, the Carolina Hurricanes begin a two-game set against the Nashville Predators.


The Match-Up

Nashville Predators (11-14-0, 22 points) vs. Carolina Hurricanes (17-6-1, 35 points)

Tuesday, March 9, 7 p.m.

Watch: FOX Sports Carolinas, FOX Sports GO

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

35: The Canes have amassed their best record (17-6-1) and most points (35) through 24 games in franchise history.

9: The Canes have won nine of their last 10 games against the Predators and are 13-3-1 in the last 17 games between the last two teams.

The Opposition

Last five games: 2-3-0, 6 points
On the road: 4-7-0, 8 points
CAR vs. NSH: 2-0-0
Leading scorer: Filip Forsberg, 26 points (10g, 16a) in 25 games

Since these two teams met in Nashville a week ago, the Predators lost consecutive games at home to the Florida Panthers before hitting the road and claiming a 4-3 shootout win over the Dallas Stars. That wasn't without its drama, though. The Stars scored three goals in 6:33 late in regulation to erase a 3-0 deficit, but Pekka Rinne, Filip Forsberg and Roman Josi helped the Preds recover in the shootout."

Injuries: Gardiner (upper body), Mrazek (right thumb), Teravainen (concussion symptoms)

TT sounds like he's going to be a bit longer with how Rod was talking, no update on Mrazek that I caught. Gardiner dealing with this lingering back issue. So Back to Fleury/Bean Kinda wish Rod would put Necas back up with Aho though. Ned gets the start.

Ned has been playing lights out.  Svech is out of his drought. Aho, Nino, Necas and Staal are all on fire. Made it through the crucible of our schedule in great position. And, finally got a little rest. 

I feel a storm coming...

Even predators run from hurricanes. We're a force of nature. 

Let's go y'all!

    • I do believe that Evero gets canned before the end of the season and Capers takes over the D. I think the stage is set for Evero to fall on the sword for a 4-7 win season.  Not saying it would be a set up but I do think if that transpires, the seat under DC might start getting pretty warm, rightly or wrongly. That's my read on Tepper. I am not at all excited nor am I dreading anything. I just have extremely low expectations so I am just waiting to see what this revision of the roster looks like.  I FEEL like we are better on paper than last season's team but I wouldn't be remotely shocked if we were as bad or worse. Again, I do think this is the 2nd worst roster in franchise history overall. What will really make me happy is for some of the big questions to finally be answered(Bryce, Ikey, Horn, etc). I would like to see a real expansion of our core player pool(basically just D. Brown currently). I want to see a couple of hits in free agency and a couple in the draft. If we accomplish those things, I have faith that we are at least moving in the right direction after many, many years doing the opposite.  
    • Considering our depth. Certainly kick the tires.
    • I am not so sure about that. I don't know that he is so soley offensively focused as winning focused. But, not really in a productive way. I get the impression he wants to be like Robert Kraft and take credit for "taking a risk on Bill Belichick" and being successful.  His track record indicates that in the NFL and in his business life.
