Another solid win, Dougie is starting to heat up.

When this team can win with a patchwork lineup you know they are solid.  Let's get the gang healthy before the playoffs though!

I'm probably in the minority but I wouldn't call it patchwork the Canes have drafted fantastically and developed these young guys into Rods system, They are not mere replacements, it's solid young depth.

I didn't mean it in that sense, I meant "patchwork" as in this would not be our lineup if we didn't have all the injuries.

I wholeheartedly agree that we have a talented farm system and a heck of a coach!

I am becoming a Ned believer, hope he's in goal tonight.

Seems like they are just going to continue trading games. Also I don't know when it happened but TT is on IR officially now.

DETROIT - For the first time since 2009, the Carolina Hurricanes have won eight games in a row. They can make it nine, which would match a franchise record, with a win in Detroit tonight.

James Reimer will take to the crease for the Canes, while Andrei Svechnikov will face off against his brother, Evgeny, for the second time this season.

GAME PREVIEW

Here is the projected lineup for the Hurricanes.

Forwards

Niederreiter-Aho-Necas
Svechnikov-Staal-Fast
McGinn-Martinook-Foegele
Paquette-Geekie-Lorentz

Defensemen

Slavin-Hamilton
Skjei-Pesce
Fleury-Bean

Goalies

Reimer
Nedeljkovic

Injuries: Mrazek (right thumb), Teravainen (concussion symptoms; injured reserve), Trocheck (upper body)

Taxi squad: Gardiner, Keane, McCormick, Warm

TT is kinda expected concussions are no joke, he has been out the majority of the season because of covid and the concussion. Trockeck from the research I've done was expected to miss 7-10 days.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
