"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."

Goalies

Reimer

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.

My boy's in net tonight...

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!

    • FLA showed everyone it’s not about superstars. they bullied the best line in the NHL into obscurity. they played hard, were in the right positions, and ran over everything that got in their way.
    • That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation. Screw the (Florida) Panthers?
    • Bring in the free agents and trades.  Florida is the best team and unless Tulsky makes it happen, it’s more of the same…which isn’t bad…but it’s time to win a goddamn cup.
